Thankful Party

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Here are a few pictures of Will's first grade "thankful" party. We read a thankful story, they wrote what they were thankful on a huge turkey feather, played pin the feather on the turkey, created one of a kind rice crispy turkeys, enjoyed snacks and juice and took home a thankful pencil as their Friday prizes! Will is so blessed to have such a wonderful teacher :-)

Being homeroom mother is such a great reward! I love when they run up to me and throw their arms around me and say, "Hi Mrs. Brown", or "Hi Will's Mom!" It's so funny how over the years my name has changed! Here is the list: Lori Ann, Lori, Ms. Miller, Mrs. Brown, Thomas' wife and now Will's mom! I love how they know me as the mom with 3 boys, the one with big hair, the snack and juice mom, the classroom reader and the mom who "gets things together!" Ahhh, the sweet rewards :-) I wouldn't have it any other way!

Will writing what he is thankful for on his turkey feather. Some of the things included his family, friends, Charlie, butter popcorn and his teacher :-)

Will playing pin the feather on the turkey! After the first 2, we had to make them put one hand behind their back. Those little buggers tried to feel around :-)

Me and my biggest little guy - notice he is tired of taking pictures and would like to get back to his turkey rice crispy decorating!
