Finding Our 5B "Inner Child" Again (yeh!!!)

We had quite the morning!  With our band kids busy practicing their instruments, the rest of us were working our tails off in the classroom in an assembly line making snack bags for our trip the the Transition Kindergarten class (our preschool buddies)!  Although the 5th graders put together 40 baggies of marshmallows, pretzel sticks, chocolate chips and fruit roll up slices, they didn't seem to realize what they were making!  Hmmm?? What could those items be similar to?

I think the little buddies figured it out FIRST!  Either way, it was a yummy treat and enjoyed by all!

Tomorrow should be a fun but FAST day!  It will disappear before we realize it!  Then, I'll be sending you off to spend 2 WEEKS with your families!  I'd love to hear from you over break through email, photos, etc!

Big REMINDER!  The Cadet Cart is coming around tomorrow with discounted items for Christmas.  I gave everyone (except Lyli) the reminder to bring back the NEW, UPDATED Big Blast volunteer note to earn some extra Cadet Cash for your possible purchases!  I know some of you wanted to save up money for this time, so here's a chance to add more to your last-minute shopping!

Here are some MAJORS for tomorrow...
Skyping with our New York 5B Class!
Share Passion Projects!
Finish One for the Murphys!
Finish Random Acts of Letters and ADDRESS them to be sent off!
TALENT SHOW!
Mrs. Bohach (Luther professor) stopping by with treats!
Cleaning up/cleaning out cubbies and lockers!
Special 5B Christmas activity!

Don't forget to have self-control on a day that is a bit wacky...
Don't forget anything you need for the Talent Show...
Don't forget to have self-control on a day that is a bit wacky...
Don't forget to bring back your note from parents about the Big Blast...

(Did you kind of catch my HINT about how to act tomorrow????????????????? - Hope so....)

Ok, here's your blog proof!  It's actually quite a bit of an assignment...  When we meet with 5B in New York, they will be sharing a song or two with us.  I thought we could ALSO share a quick Christmas carol with them.  Please read and practice singing the lines from The 12 Days of Christmas from Iowa that we read the past 2 weeks.  I thought we could share that with them so that they could learn a bit about Iowa (just like we did).  What a great gift..... the gift of KNOWLEDGE!

I'll know you checked the blog, if when you come in, I can ask you ANY # from the song, and you'll be able to tell me what part of the song goes with it!  Muuaahaahh!  This will ALSO earn you some extra Cadet Cash!

Here are the lyrics! Practice, practice, practice...

12 mutton busters

11 cows a-milking

10 speedy cyclists

9 kites a-flying

8 tricky nisses

7 saucers sliding

6 covered bridges

5...... butterflies.......

4 big balloons

3 train cars

2 hefty hogs

and a goldfinch in an oak tree.....
