HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
What a fun week have had! The kids enjoyed learning about pumpkins and bats!
Our Halloween Party was a blast! THANK YOU so much to all the parents who donated their time and supplies to make the party great! We had 4 Halloween centers at our party! The centers for the party were:
1. Spider Glyph - The kids make a spooky spider glyph. They turned out so cute!
2. Grapefruit Carving - The kids carved grapefruits with plastic knives to turn them into Jack - O - Grapefruits.
3. Owl Puppet - The kids colored an owl pattern, cut it out and glued it on a paper bag to make a cute puppet.
4. Mini Pumpkin Decorating - The kids decorated mini pumpkins with googly eyes, gems, colored cotton balls and markers.
In the afternoon we had ghost stories and decorated cookies.
The Halloween parade was so much fun! Everyone looked so great in costume! The kids had such a great time with this!
Get excited for next week...we are learning about Awesome America!
Happy Halloween!

About Me
Get To Know Your Teacher!
I am so excited to be back at Harelson with this awesome group of first grade students!
I am from the Great State of Michigan - GO BLUE!!! I grew up in Bloomfield Hills, a city north of Detroit. I lived in Michigan until I went to college. My BA is from Denison University in Granville, Ohio - GO BIG RED! Mr. Johnston and I met in college and we even got married at Denison! I moved to Arizona in the summer of 2007 and I absolutely love my home in Tucson! I have my M.Ed. from Northern Arizona University - GO LUMBERJACKS!
My parents live in Tucson too and it is great to be near them. My mom makes many of the neat bees and decorations in our room and she likes to come in and read to my students.
Mr. Johnston and I have two adorable and funny miniature schnauzers named Sophie Pink and Lilly Rose. They want to meet all of my first graders! You will get to know all about Sophie Pink and Lilly Rose and their fun adventures! And, you will even get to meet them one day!
This year is going to be an exciting year for us because in addition to our 'fur-kids,' we are expecting our first child, a little boy, due January 28, 2013! We can hardly wait!
I love my family, playing with Sophie Pink and Lilly Rose, reading, exercise, baking, the color PINK and teaching, of course!! Being healthy and active are very important to me. I am a marathon runner and I run all around Oro Valley, so be sure to wave if you see me running! I also workout at CrossFit and I absolutely love it! Kids do CrossFit WODs (workout of the day) every day in class. Exercise warms up your brain and gets you ready to learn! Exercise makes you strong and healthy. Exercise is fun!
I love BEES! Bees are amazing little creatures because they have big bodies and tiny, thin little wings. They should not be able to fly, but each day they take flight and do great things. Isn't that cool?!?! Bees are smart too! Bees created their very own special dance language to talk to each other. Isn't that neat?!?! I think all of my students are like bees - they can do anything! I believe that all my students will achieve great things.
