A Craft for Daddy

One of my good friends is a Kindergarten teacher in the school where I am a Literacy Teacher. When I was picking up my students from her room I noticed that her students were working on a craft where they were making an "LLV" or mail truck as you commoners would call it. (LOL). I thought it was so cute. I commented on it how my husband would just adore those and she said "Oh yes! I wanted to give you one to bring home and do with Devin! I knew they would both like it."

Devin has himself and Erick in the driver's seat- with Devin driving of course! (you can click on the picture to get a closer look) Isn't it adorable?

And for those of you who are wondering what they were studying to prompt them to make these, I believe the unit is "Community."

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! What a fun day for Devin! He really got the idea of trick or treating and the party day at school. Last night Devin and I made "Express Mail" for Devin to hand out to his friends at school. We labeled business sized envelopes "Express Mail from Devin" and decorated with Blue's Clues stickers. Inside we put a small pack of raisins and fruit snacks. Devin had a blast handing out his "mail" and the kids all liked receiving it (sorry, didn't think to get a picture!)

Here is a pic of Dad and Devin dressed in their Mailman Best this morning...

...and then Devin's pal, Lexi, the French Fry pack armed with her ketchup bag. These two trick or treaters were a big hit as you can imagine!

One of our neighbors took the time to make this scarecrow and Devin really seemed to enjoy it.

Here is Devin after receiving one of his treats! He and Lexi really had a great time prowling though the neighborhood trick or treating. Today was a great day all around!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
