The Nutcracker!

Today all of first grade went on a field trip to see the nutcracker. It was my first time seeing it and I absolutely loved it! I really enjoyed watching my kiddos' reaction to the performance. Most of my students have never been to the ballet and will probably never go again. So this was a once in a lifetime thing for them. Their faces were priceless...they were mesmerized! We also took all eight (yes eight) classes to eat at Cici's Pizza for lunch. What an experience that was! They were totally pumped about it. It's neat to see them outside the classroom environment...to just hang out. It was a great way to spend an otherwise dull Tuesday. Only 3 weeks until Christmas Break!
