Gold

First Grade is all about spreading smiles and making others feel like they are worth more than GOLD! Last year my fabulous co-worker Mrs. Kelly had a great idea to make her friend (the secretary at Liberty Pines Academy) feel super special by sending our darling first graders to serenade her with a song! We decided to include several other secretaries as well on our journey!

This year we were able to have 3 other classes join us in spreading smiles across our county! We loaded up two buses of super adorable first graders (that have been practicing their dance moves A LOT) and split up to divide and conquer a total of 11 elementary schools and the St. Johns County District office!
The kids ROCKED! We rotated our rappers (that had to try out for the part) and decorated gold crowns by covering them in jewels! We hopped off the bus...gathered around the secretary...sang our hearts out...and loaded up for the next school!

Here is the pictures from our "Gold" field trip! I loved this day spreading smiles with my kiddos! We loaded up the kids with gold sparkle glitter spray and mardi gras beads! They were ready to rock! Check them out!

 Last stop...Liberty Pines Elementary...to visit the secretary that started this inspirational journey!

 

 Thanks so much for a "golden" day! :) I just had to say it!

Gold Field Trip

On May 2nd we loaded up 2 smile buses to travel around to 9 St. Johns County Elementary Schools and the District County Office so that we could honor their front desk receptionists! We spread a lot of joy as our darling firsties danced around the women serenading them with a song! We had a crown to place on them and a Gold chocolate goody bag. It was amazing to see the impact our seven year olds can have on people they don't even know! We saw a lot of smiles and a lot of tears (happy tears of course).

Here is just a few pictures from our fabulous day!

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!!

We celebrated Dr. Seuss in style this year! When the kids came in they picked a hat to decorate and listened to one of there favorite books "I can read with my eyes shut!"

We had a full morning planned and lots of awesome parents to help out! 

The Lorax Photo Booth!! 

Did you chop down that tree? 

Let the activities begin!!!!!!

Mrs. Moy read "There's a wocket in my pocket" and the kiddos designed there own wockets out of play dough! 

Mr. Perkins read "one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish" and the kiddos sorted a scoop of colorful goldfish snacks! 

Mrs. Tuttle read "The Cat in the Hat" and the kiddos made red, blue and white bracelets.

Snack time!!!!

Mrs. Galo read "Green Eggs and Ham"  while the kids munched on YUMMY snacks! 

We love Dr. Seuss!!!! 

Thank you so much to everyone that participated in our fun exciting day!!!! The kids had a blast!
