Polar Express/Brunch with Santa

So we figured we just cram as much Christmas cheer as we could into one weekend! After the parade yesterday, we went home to warm up before having to be at the Kennesaw town square (or as they call it "The Depot") for the town tree lighting ceremony. Brady's preschool class sang some Christmas songs to put everyone in the Christmas spirit.

After his singing performance, we grabbed some dinner and then walked across the street to the Souther museum of civil war and locomotive history (or as my kids call it "the train place"). They were having a Polar Express Adventure from 6-10. The kids could make crafts, see the train which was decorated with lights, listen to stories and visit with Santa complete with cookies and hot cocoa. The kids had a lot of fun!

This morning we had brunch with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Brookstone Country Club. The kids enjoyed visiting with Santa and telling him their wishes for Christmas. We had a fabulous brunch and headed home to relax!

I also took some photos at home this morning before mass. This kids looked so nice all dresses up.

Brady decided he wanted to have his birthday party with his friends at Chuck E Cheese. He invited his best buddies from school and we had a great time. He scored tons of tickets in the ticket blaster, had a Star Wars cake and had a great time playing games with all his friends. Here are some highlights from the awesome party!

What are the benefits of blogging for students? There are many benefits of blogging for students. Students can use blogging to express what they have learned about a specific topic in the classroom. For example, students have been learning about marine animals in science class. Students have been following the nesting of sea turtles in Hilton Head Island. They have each chosen a nest and have been following it on their website. Every few days, students read the progress of the nest online and then create a blog post on what they read and include images to share with their classmates. Another benefit to students blogging is for them to be able to express themselves creatively. Students can create a weekly poem blog post where they find a poem they like, copy it to their blog post (citing the author and resource where they found it) and then summarize the poem and write about why they chose it and what they liked most about it.

12 Days of Pinterest: Day 8

Day 8: 12/17/12 Ok, so I apologize for the break in my "12 days of Pinterest" posts. My parents were in from Ohio the last 5 days and we were busy celebrating Christmas (early) and doing all the St. Louis holiday things there are to do (lights, train displays, Christmas concerts....you know!). Today I am doing a something that when I saw it on Pinterest - I knew I HAD to do it! We have a ton of ornaments. They are currently on our tree (duh) but when they are in storage the other 11 months of the year, they are kept wrapped in tatty tissue paper in shirt boxes that are falling apart. Every year I say "I am going to get one of those "ornament organizers" (the ones you see at Target and Home Depot)....and every year when I go to buy one, I go into sticker shock! How can a piece of plastic that holds 12 ornaments be $20! Of course we have more than a dozen ornaments, so I went on a hunt for something cheaper! Here it is! It cost me $2.50 to make. I used cardboa...
