The Red Carpet Party Has Arrived!

End of The Year Red Carpet Premier

This day flew by so fast! I wish I could have made the hour of the party drag out just a little longer! I loved the look on the childrens' faces as they walked into the room to see it transformed and to see all of their loved ones clapping for them as they came in. They went to their seat and loved their gift bags! They also loved the feather boas, bow ties, and top hats! Then it was time for the awards. One by one I called them down the red carpet to receive their award trophy and certificate! They loved cheering for one another and hearing their awards!

I tried to give a little speech about how much I loved their children and how hard it will be to give them away to a new teacher, but I bust into tears. I think they got the message though :)

Then it was time for the DVD! I continued to cry through that as well! I looked out to see a sea of mothers crying also.. it made me feel much better! Then we dug in to the yummy food and took pictures in the hollywood photo booth!

After the kids were gone, I looked around the room and tried to tell myself that as hard as it is to say goodbye it is my job to make them see that they have learned everything they can from me and now it is time for them to soar into second grade! This class is a special group. No one will ever quite have my heart like they do!

Wherever you go.. My love will find you!

Linking up with End of the Year Ideas!

Thanks to 

and

Beach Day!

Who does not LOVE the beach?

Hello Friends!

Just 3 more days of school left after today! We kicked off this week with Beach Day! It was so much fun and it is thanks to my wonderful parent helpers! They did such an amazing job running the stations. I was actually able to walk around and enjoy my students without stressing!

Beach day was not originally on my schedule for the last week but my great friends at Two Friends in First told me about it and I could not turn it down!

We had 5 stations
1. Bucket List Craftivity
2. Watercolor & Salt Beach Paintings
3. End of The Year Shirts
4. Buddy Reading on a beach towel
5. Chalk Art

Here are some of the pictures!

The shirts were a last minute thing I 

thought of and I am so glad that I did!

 I just used iron on paper to put the words 

on the front and back of the shirts

On the last day of school we are going 

to sigh the back of the shirt with colored sharpies

The students got to pick whether

 they wanted Pink, Blue, or Green

The girls buddy reading.. too cute ;)

 Happy ALMOST Summer :)

End of the Year, Red Carpet Premier Continues..

Lights, Camera, Action!

Loving everything about this party!

The students "Headshot" will be hanging with their writing about this year. I also completed the "Meet the Stars" paper from my TPT packet. So excited to put these all together with the borders. 

These are our back stage VIP passes! :)

These are CUPCAKES! Can you believe it? They are too stinking cute! My mom is one crafty lady!

Easy to make felt bow ties for the boys to wear the day of the party!

Can't go to a Movie themed party and not have pop corn!

Student Gift - These microwave popcorn bowl ($0.97 at Walmart) holds the summer reading and writing pack, two boxes of movie candy ($1 each at the dollar store), books from scholastic, and a water bottle.

Another version of the student gift

I think this party is getting out of control!

Alright... so everything is cut out for the games. Mom and I found red feather boas at the dollar store! Can you picture it? All 13 of my girls will be red carpet ready with their feather boas and fancy sunglasses. My boys are going to be decked out in 50's style hats and bow ties made by my awesome mom! (She is making them out of felt) I am thinking I get this "over the top" attitude from her :)  Well here is the start to the pictures. I will post the goody bags this weekend and maybe a few glamor shots! Hope you enjoy! PRETTY PLEASE follow me. it is on the right side of this page if you scroll down. THANK YOU!!

End of the Year - Red Carpet Premier

Well I am really getting excited about creating items for my classroom and TPT! I got this idea of a Red Carpet event for the last day of school. In my mind I am picturing red paper rolled out on the floor, pop corn for everyone, pictures of the students all dolled up, and awards to celebrate our accomplishments this year! I cannot wait to post pictures, but I can post my TPT link!
