5th Grade Trip 2016

Cody's 5th grade class had the opportunity to take a trip to Eagle Bluff February 29-March 2, 2016. It was the first time that Gibbs Elementary has offered this kind of opportunity for 5th graders. The trip gave the students an opportunity to work together and learn some life lessons along the way.

I decided that it would be a good experience for me to be a chaperon on the trip. The trip was filled with activities from breakfast time to "lights out" at 10 pm. Needless to say, the trip was exhausting, but I also learned a lot. It was fun to see the students do things that were at times out of their comfort zone. I also learned that it can be challenging to work with so many different kids who have different personalities and attitudes. God Bless teachers!

I am glad that was there to witness my son's experience and am proud at what he accomplished on the trip including a high ropes course that ended in a zip line. Way to go Cody!

Be my Valentine...

I was helping out in Cody's class for Valentine's Day yesterday. It is so cute to see how excited the kids are to share their Valentine's with one another. Of course a lot of the excitement has to do with the candy that usually comes with it. As the class was listening to the story of Valentine's Day that was being read by the teacher, a little girl came over from the other classroom to ask if Cody was there. I told her yes and she proceeded to give me a Valentine for him. When I realized who it was (it happened to be a girl he has talked about), I quickly said hi and told her I am Cody's mom. She said hi back and said nice to meet you

First lost tooth!

Cody lost his first tooth on November 11, 2010. Needless to say he really lost it because he had it in a special tooth box for the Tooth Fairy, but when he opened it to look at the tooth (over and over again) it fell out somewhere on the floor. The whole family spent time looking in the carpet and couch for it to no avail. Luckily the Tooth Fairy still makes a visit even when the tooth is really lost.

Still got a chance...

Last week Cody and I had gone shopping. As we were going through the checkout lane he noticed a magazine with Carrie Underwood in her wedding dress on the front cover. He loves Carrie Underwood and even drew hearts all around her picture of one of my magazines. He asked "Mom, did she get married?" I answered "Yes." Right away he said "Do you think they will break up soon?" I told him that if she did break up with him, she likes hockey players so he still has a chance. He said "Good!"
