HE'S HOME!!

Yay!! Miss Donofrio picked Mr. Danny up from the airport on Friday, June 15th at 10:00 PM. I had some tears of joy, so I look a little silly in this picture! 20 days until Miss Donofrio becomes Mrs. Keegan! :D

Hmm...

hmmm... I wonder who took this picture as he FINALLY got off the submarine... :D

I'll be back with an update soon!

HINT!

Happy Summer! Here's a photo of something I will have in my classroom next year because it has to do with the new theme. This year our theme was, 'Empowering the Future.' Do you think you can figure out the slogan for this new theme? :D

FIELD DAY!!! :D

How awesome do these toilet paper brides and grooms look? :D

I had so much fun at my wedding shower today. Thanks for the wonderful advice and for all the recipes. I'll be sure to test them out on some of my friends BEFORE I make dinner for Mr. Danny. :D

Study Jams: Plant Reproduction!

Amazing Volcanoes!

To celebrate the fact that every student was present last week and conquered the FCAT, I decided it would be just plain FUN to create our own volcanoes. Now, these aren't just an ordinary volcanoes. They are from different lands around our universe.

Friends worked in groups and chose 3 different colors of play dough, created their volcano and anything they wanted surrounding it. They then gave their land a name and created a sign. Finally, I allowed them to choose what color lava they wanted flowing out of their volcano.

We simply used baking soda, a little dish soap (for extra foamy lava), and food coloring. We mixed the basic colors to get colors like purple and orange! My friends had a BLAST (literally) and really showed their teamwork and creativity. Check it out!
