Spring Fun

Me, Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Mayes at the Talent Show

I am so sorry that my post have not been as regular! We have been having so much fun around here this Spring!! I am not sure who all came to the Talent Show, but if you didn't make it that night....you missed out on LOTS!!! It was a great night, so much talent, and a fun surprise at the end! From our class, Chloe and Jaylen performed and they were both SUPER!!! I was very proud of them both. At the end, the teachers dressed up as Nuns and did the Sister Act "I Will Follow Him" song. It was so much fun!!!

Career Day Pictures

Today we had Career Day at our school. We had Holly Adams, Connor's mom, come and speak to our class about her job as a social worker. She works for Children's Rehabilitation Services and does many great things to help children. I really appreciate her coming. She did a great job, and sent some goodies home with the class! Thanks so much Holly!!!

We ended our Career Day with a surprise...we had a parent come and land a HELICOPTER on the field!!! This parent is in the military, and also works as a Drug Enforcement Agent. This was a fun experience for the class! I have some pictures of the helicopter below.

A Few Reminders for Tomorrow

Tomorrow (Friday, April 16) is Spring Picture Day! We will also take a class picture in the front hallway, so be sure to be here on time and with a SMILE!

The yearbook sale also ends tomorrow. Yearbooks are $25, please remember to send your money if you would like to have a yearbook from this year.

We are selling armbands ($10) for the Spring Fling. It is next Friday afternoon, beginning at 2:30. There will be all kinds of games, pie in the teachers' face (not mine!), dunk booth (I will be in this either from 3:00-3:30 or 4:30-5:00), sock hop from 5-6, and a hamburger and hotdog cookout. This is a great thing for the Mitchell Family and hope to see you all there!

Principal Horton

Here are some pictures from Jaylen's big day as principal of Mitchell Elementary School. He did a great job, and got to ride in a limo to lunch at Stevie B's!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Jaylen! He was the top salesman for the Flower Power Fundraiser in the entire First Grade, and will be going to lunch with Mr. Waits in a limo!!! How exciting!!! AND get this....He was the TOP SALESMAN in the ENTIRE school!!! He will get to be the Principal for the day!!! WOW!

We had a very fun day today (once we were all finished with testing this morning). It started off by having cupcakes from the Gadsden Job Corp Group that has adopted our grade level. Then, after lunch those first graders who participate in the Flower Power fundraiser got to eat ice cream on the patio, and then come join the rest of the class who were playing outside by the track. At the end of the day, the flower salemens from the school got to watch the new Chipmunks movie in the gym and eat popcorn, while the rest of the class played outside. We are really enjoying this beautiful weather! I have a feeling most of my class went home full and tired today!

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend! Happy Easter!

Duct Tape Day

We had the assembly on Thursday to duct tape Mr. Waits to the gym wall. We raised around $700 for the local Red Cross, and the students LOVED seeing their principal stuck to the gym wall! Thanks so much for your giving spirit!

Here are some of the class waiting to duct tape Mr. Waits.

Jaylen putting his piece on Mr. Waits.

He was such a good sport!

That's a LOT of tape!

He stayed up on the wall for over 10 seconds, beating Ms. Towns record!

Happy SPRING BREAK!!!

I hope you all have a GREAT Spring Break!!! Have a safe and fun week off! :-)
