Happy Mother's Day!

This week was full of celebrations.  On Wednesday, we celebrated Kamryn's birthday.  Her mommy brought in cupcakes and we were able to sing to her.  Happy Happy Birthday, sweet Kamy!  You are a blessing to our community!
Yum!!
This week we also celebrated Mother's Day.  We had a beautiful party on Thursday.  Our children got to sing two songs to their mommys, and then enjoyed some muffins and cinnamon rolls.  We also made a craft with our moms.  Then, the children were able to "pamper" their mothers and give them makeovers, complete with a hair and makeup session ;).  It was the perfect combination of adorable and hilarious!  There was also a photo booth to capture this fun, memorable day.  Thank you, Jesus, for our mothers!  Special thanks as well to our parent volunteers that spent hours of their own time preparing for our party.  It is so amazing to us that our mothers work so hard preparing for their own party-you are a GIFT!!
Fab-u-lous!
I also wanted to let you know that this will be the final blog post of the year, as I am headed home to the valley for the summer.  I will be back in August, and will continue updating then.  I hope you have a wonderful, blessed summer.  Thank you for the amazing opportunity to teach your beautiful children-they touch our hearts every single day!  See you in the fall :).

May God bless you all!!

Peace and joy,
Miss Brooklyn

Hello, May!

Hello, friends!  Happy May!  It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is so rapidly approaching!  It seems to fly by even faster every year.  

This week in school we learned about the letter W and the number 28.  We are also hard at work preparing for our Mother's Day celebration next Thursday. 
Check out these rockstars practicing for our Mother's Day celebration! 
To help us learn about the letter W, we read the book Where the Wild Things Are.  We even made puppets of characters from the book to help us bring the story to life!
What a WILD bunch!
I also wanted to share with you all the craft we made today.  We made church windows out of paper, tissue paper, and contact paper.  They look like real stained glass when the sun shines through!  I hung them in the front window of our school around Jesus' picture for our entire community to admire.  They are truly beautiful and unique.
 That is all for now.  Thank you all for such a beautiful week!  Enjoy the sunshine this weekend!

Peace and joy,
Miss Brooklyn
