Thanksgiving Treats

Okay I know that Thanksgiving is long and gone, but I meant to post these pictures from our class!  They are too awesome to just forget about.  :)

Here are my precious kiddos!  We made the cutest turkey hats during morning work on the last day before Thanksgiving break.

The turkey hats are easy to make!  There is not much preparation needed.  Die cuts make everything a lot easier, too!  If you would like for me to upload a pattern for this, let me know!

My sweet room mom also made a bunch of AMAZING treats for our class.  Below is a picture of the most adorable Mayflower gift bags that she sewed together herself!  She added a stick & stationary card with their names on it and then filled it up with goodies.  I don't know who was more excited...my kids or ME!

She even made the most delicious Pilgrim Hat Cookies!  They were made from E.l.f. Fudge Striped cookies & a marshmallow dipped in chocolate!  WOW!  They were definitely enjoyed by everyone.

And my room mom even gave me a HUGE gift basket full of Thanksgiving goodies!!!  There were Yankee Candles, candle holders, notepads, candy, a Turkey doll, lotion, etc.   She is just amazing.  I am so thankful for all of her help this year.  She always puts so much time and effort into everything that she does!!!

I know it was a few weeks too late but I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving.  I know that I have SO much to be thankful for.  :)   I am very blessed!

The Sweetest Students Ever!

I just had to write a quick post about how precious and sweet my students are!  I absolutely love when they bring in pictures and notes that they have made for me.  It is just so heart warming that they think about me even when they are at home or at after school programs.

Jenna wrote this one in her journal one day.  It says, "I LOVE my new teacher Mrs. Thompson.  In fact, I love Mrs. Thompson so much that I love first grade."  Hahaha how funny and sweet!

Then Andrew brought this picture to school one day.  It says "Mrs. Thompson is the best teacher in her classroom."  HA!  I'm glad that out of all of the teachers in MY classroom, I am the best one, hehehe!

They are just so precious and funny!  Things like this can really
 make my day and help to remind me why I am a teacher in the first place!  :)
