October Linky Parties

Sunday is becoming my usual blogging day. The weekend passes so quickly and it's Sunday before I know it! I'm linking up with Doodlebugs Teaching and Oh Boy 4th Grade for my two favorite linky parties this morning.

It took a loooong time (our whole literacy block!) to make this cute apple craftivity by Mrs. Jump, but the kids really enjoyed it!  They were amazed how the little basket of paper squares and rectangles became apples! The favorite part of the craft was making the apple core. They were amazed by tearing the white paper to look like bite marks.

 

I am really excited about my new word wall. I like that the words are lower and easier for the class to see. I used to have the words above each letter of my alphabet.

 Isabella and I were in a friend's wedding yesterday. She did such a great job! She was so excited to wear her flower girl dress, aka the pickle dress. Months ago when we went to David's Bridal to pick out our dresses, she thought that I had said we are getting Pickle Dresses! 

 

Everything was pink at the wedding! The bride even wore a pale pink gown!  I am in love with the cake!  It was delicious, too! Layers of white cake with lemon filling and chocolate sour cream cake with chocolate mousse. Yum! 

There was a photo booth! We had so much fun! Isabella probably could have stayed all evening in it, taking pictures. They printed pictures for us and attached one copy into a guest book for us to sign. I thought that was so creative!  It'll be fun for Melissa and Jason to go through the guest/photo book to see all of our goofy poses!
