Thursday was an important day in our room.  It was Charlie’s 1/2-Birthday.  And yes, I am regretting now that I don’t have pictures of everyone’s birthdays that we’ve celebrated so far.  SORRY FRIENDS!  And honestly, the reason I have pictures of this celebration is because of what happened.

Long story short is that we were given YUMMY soft pretzels from a local shop near our school.  In true 1st grade fashion, letters started appearing everywhere.

Look, an A!

Mine’s an O!

Then kids started seeing all sorts of other amazing things, too!

I’m pretty sure that Evan’s lifting weights here. 🙂

Say cheese!

Makayla saw a candy cane!

So did Lauren!

Thomas found another one!

Then Charlie showed us that 7 1/2 really means he’s an old man now, and he needed a cane to help him walk! Silly!

What a fun afternoon!  This is another one of the millions of reasons why I LOVE spending my days with first graders!  You just never know what’s gonna happen. 🙂
