A Birthday

On Tuesday when Jolene went to school she

learned the next time she went (Thursday 26) it

would be her teachers birthday! It made Jolene sad

because her teacher is single and her family

lives far away. So she asked if she

could give her teacher a party!!

So Wednesday, Jolene's day off, we

made cupcakes.

Jolene realized "happy birthday"

has as many letters

as there are kids in her class! So each kid

got a letter and the happy face at the end

was for her teacher to have "after dinner" Jolene picked her out a Dora balloon, because who

doesn't love Dora, and a pink flower plant.

When I brought the cupcakes to school at snack time,

Ms. Painton had to wipe a tear! Jolene made her sit at

the table, served her first and then had the

class sing "Happy Birthday"

They got to watch some of "Horton Hears A Who"

All in all I think she had a great party, if nothing

else Jolene succeeded in

giving her a nice surprise!

After the party it was outside fun time!!

Then inside for learning labs!

They are learning about their neighborhoods,

so they got to play beauty shop or barber shop.

Lots of fun!
