Black History Program: I Have A Dream

Our class did a great job performing in the Black History Program!  I was proud of them!  Here are a few pics sitting in the audience and on stage!  I posted the class singing their song at the end of this post!!















Just in case you missed the program, here is the link to our class singing their "I Have A Dream" song.  We had a little technical difficulty at the beginning of the video so it takes about 1 minute for it to start!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a sweet Valentine's Day Party on Friday!  We had delicious chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A and lots of other yummy things to go with them!  Thank you to everyone that came to our party and/or sent items for the party!  I must tell you that this class warms my heart with their kindness to one another.  They are all so thoughtful and they truly love each other!  It is what every class should be like!  They love each other and they show it everyday!  
I love them all so much and I am blessed to be their teacher!




Look at those cute tables decorated for Valentines!


Lots of sweet moms came and helped with our celebration!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!



Take note of these two ladies and their short "locks."  They donated their hair for "Locks of Love!"  I told you had a sweet and thoughtful class!  I guess the doodlebugs get it from their wonderful parents!  
Thanks for leading by example!!












I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE DOODLEBUGS!!!!

Our Final Star Tells His Story!

Our final star student shared his story this week and what a treat we had!  We had visitors from his parents, 2 sets of grandparents and an aunt.  They came and shared wonderful stories and music with our class.  We learned about life long ago from his grandparents and his aunt played the guitar and sang songs with us.  We found out his mom and grandmother went to Pine Street School when they were little girls.  His family read some fun books to us.  His dad told us about his job with the City of Spartanburg and he brought lots of treasures from different places in Spartanburg!  Thanks for sharing your story with us!  We learned so much from your family!



We listened to a wonderful story about an elephant that found his voice!




We sang songs and we all got to strum the guitar!


Mom's picture was in the newspaper when she was 10 years old and a student at Pine Street School.  She was walking down Boyd Street!



The ant farm came and stayed for the week!  






Lunch with mom!



Gran B shares her story about growing up in Virginia.

Pops shares stories of growing up in Virginia and he brought a picture of himself when he was a little boy being pulled in a wagon by a goat!!




Lunch with Gran B and Pops.


We listen to stories from Boppa about when he was a little boy in school and his teacher's husband came to visit their class.  Mr. Teacher's Husband taught him how to wiggle his ears.  




We are amazed that Boppa can wiggle his ears.  All the children tried their best to wiggle their ears, but we only had one that was able to do it!  


Grammy was a former Pine Street 1st grade teacher and student.  Grammy shares wonderful stories with our class!
