Happy 6th Birthday Micah

Happy 6th Birthday to Micah (9-27-08)!  We celebrated his birthday at Ocean Park Beach with a Spongebob theme.  There were all things Spongebob (his donut, Krabby patties (In N Out burgers), and treasure chests.  The kids had a great time playing near the water but the highlight of the party was the treasure chests that the kids had to find full of Spongebob whistles, candies, and toys.  I can't believe Micah turned 6... where has the time gone???

Happy New Year

This year Noah decided to go into the actual service for Rosh Hashanah whereas Micah chose to go the children services where they read stories, make crafts, and design aspects of this holiday with food.  Here is Micah using blue frosting to represent the water, brown frosting to represent the land, and animal crackers to represent God's creation.  He had a great time and Noah also enjoyed sitting between his dad and grandfather while he listened to the songs of the new year.  What room will Noah choose next year???

Noah's fieldtrip

Noah's class went to the California Science Center for their first field trip of the year.  His teachers are very organized and had a list of questions that the children had to answer in each ecosystem.  Noah was paired with his good friends and I enjoyed walking around the museum with them.  I feel so blessed that Noah has made a nice group of friends and that he loves school.  Where will the next field trip be???

Birthday in the class

Micah celebrated his birthday in class with fresh cut fruit cups.  I only had to make 48 cups (that's a lot of fruit).  It was super sweet to see the class sing Happy Birthday to him and for him to blow out his felt candles.  Afterwards, each child came up to Micah and gave him a compliment which was very cute.  Time is flying by fast, wouldn't you agree???

Happy baby shower

Lise's baby shower was full of good friends, good eats, and a good time had by all.  She is due next month and we are so excited for her and to meet her son, Dominic.  Who will he look like???

Happy Birthday Girls

Today we celebrated Kaitlyn and Emma's birthday at Party Kingdom.  It was a huge space full of jumpers of all sizes, games,  face painting, and fun.  Kaitlyn had a Minecraft theme (which explains Micah's shirt and Noah's attempt to look like the character, Steve) whereas Emma embraced the Frozen theme.  It was a great time celebrating with these two girls... what will we do for Micah's birthday later this month???

Rainbow Award

Noah received a Rainbow Award from Orange Cluster.  Rainbow Awards are presented at the school wide assemblies every week.  We were proud to read, "This Rainbow Award is presented to Noah Smith for being a kind friend and for being excellent in class."  Noah was very proud to receive this award so early on in the year.  What will his next award say???
