Is it Friday yet?

Wow, the boys were full of energy today.  They don't normally run me ragged, but for some reason... maybe the weather is changing.

After school, I met with Mrs. E to go over plans for National Lutheran Schools Week.  We figured out all the dress up days (the students voted for their favorites), and decided on our afternoon activities.  Since the theme is "Baptized for this Moment", we're trying to tie in water as much as possible.  Sunday is our kickoff day, so we're hosting a family outing of ice skating in the afternoon.  Monday we're going to play Minute to Win it games- water edition.  Tuesday we're going to make cutout snowflakes and decorate baptism/Valentine's theme place mats for a local nursing home.  Wednesday is our big parent dinner/chapel service and we're having the Bethany Lutheran College drum line play for our school.  Thursday's activity is still up in the air yet.  Let me know if you have good ideas!  Friday will be a classroom switcheroo activity.  Each teacher comes up with an activity to play in his/her room for 10 minutes and the students rotate to other classrooms.  After that, we're having a Baptism Birthday Party as a picnic in the gym complete with cupcakes to celebrate!  It's going to be a very fun week.

This Friday is going to be a busy day.  It's the last day of the second quarter.  It's hard to believe a half a year has gone by already!  I also need to take everything out of my reading corner since a closet will be built there over the weekend.  We don't have school Monday, so a congregation member is going to build a few walls, throw up some shelves, and voila! Closet in Miss Heintz's room.  The only thing is that I'll need to squish all my bookshelves back into some kind of corner Monday afternoon so we're ready to go for school on Tuesday.  Pray that everything goes well!
