Spring Break Update

Here's the latest from the Sadler Household!

We are on Spring Break this week. I promised Ryan that while we were off, he would go to the DMV and get his license! So, that's exactly what we did!
The weather prior to break was BEAUTIFUL - warmest March ever - of course, this week has been colder, so we didn't get to be outside as much as we'd hope to!

In keeping with the Spring theme - I did some Spring Cleaning and Organizing - Our linen closet was in need of some organizing...... Everything is labeled and tidy!

 Ryan went to the Turn-a-about Dance in February and I don't think I ever posted a picture

 Here's our visit to the DMV in pictures! - Not knowing it is illegal to take pictures in the facility - I snapped away until I was told "NO PICTURES ALLOWED"! I snuck one with my cell phone (getting his picture taken) to make sure I captured the entire experience!

 

 At school, we had a special visitors. The characters from the Magic Tree House books came to Brookdale.  We had the kids write about what their experience would be like if they had a Magic Tree House.  I decorated our bulletin board to match the theme!  It turned out soooo cute!

 I used twisted paper to make the rope ladder.  Unfortunately, some of the kids have been trying to climb the board - I've had to restaple it in place! (Inside the tree house is our class picture and a squirrel stuffed animal!)

Here's the board completely done! The butterflies were made from coffee filters and water color paint! 

I designed the writing paper to match the board.

  I added a writing prompt - since they are only Kindergarteners and then mounted them onto construction paper.

I'm really happy with how well it turned out.

While I am at it - Here are some of the other bulletin boards I did this year.....

Fall  - Our trip to the Farm

 Snowmen At Night Bulletin Board

(Each snowman was made from cotton balls/twigs and a piece of fabric for the scarf)

 This board is a picture of each student's smile - They wrote about themselves without disclosing their name - Then when you lift the piece of paper the is a picture of them. This board is for the parents to see during open house.

And because you are never too old to get a Easter Basket bag! I made these bags for Ryan and my nephew Jacob for Easter.  I got to use my shredding scissors for the first time.

Today was the first time Ryan drove himself to work - ALONE! (He did call to say he got there and I asked him to call when he's leaving!)

Happy Spring!
