Hey Top Dogs! Here is the video of our favorite brain break from yesterday's morning meeting. Each time I watch it I smile bigger! You guys really know how to get down!

We have done a few different brain breaks this year to get our bodies moving and our brains ready, but this is by far our favorite! We loved to boogie with Sid, our favorite Sloth from the movie Ice Age! :)

I bet you can't watch this without smiling!

See you tomorrow, dancers!
Mrs. Delzer <3

We proudly dedicate this movie to mammals everywhere... :)

Have the Top Dogs told you how much they LOVE our Chicken Soup with Rice poems? Every month, we get a new Chicken Soup with Rice poem by Maurice Sendak, and we collect them in our Poetry Books. I grabbed some quick pictures of the Top Dogs after they were done illustrating this month's Chicken Soup with Rice poem. Check out their amazing illustrations below.

Love them once,
Love them twice,
Love them chicken soup with rice.
:)

TTFN,
Mrs. Delzer <3








I also found a YouTube video that puts all of our Chicken Soup with Rice poems in a song. I bet you won't be able to stop singing this song after you watch it! :)



PS Did I mention lately that when our blog reaches 10,000 (YES 10,000!!!!!) page views that we will be having a big blogtastic party to celebrate!?! I can't believe how many followers we have, and the number of page views we get each day. THANK YOU for your continued support of our little blog. We couldn't do it without you! :)

We had our Informance in school last week, and I told the Top Dogs my face hurt when we got back to our classroom from smiling the whole time. These kids can put on a show! We owe Mrs. Johnson a BIG THANK YOU for teaching us all of these super songs! Here are some pictures and short videos of the big performance! :)

See you on Monday,
Mrs. Delzer <3

Girls only picture :)

Boys only picture :)

We had to take a class picture in our fancy clothes!

I think most of you saw our Pilgrims hanging up during our Informance. In case you missed them, I thought I'd take some pictures because they are just too cute!!!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving break with your Top Dog!! Your children give me 21 reasons to be very THANKFUL each day!

TTFN,
Mrs. Delzer

Over the last 2 days, the Top Dogs wrote some "I am thankful" letters to some staff in our school whose hard work and dedication sometimes goes unnoticed. A few of our staff members got teary eyed when we were reading our thank yous to them. It feels so good to fill people's buckets, and make people feel appreciated. THANK YOU for all you do for our class and our school! Thank you Mandi, for taking all of the pictures! :)

Kendal and Brenden brought letters down to Nicole, the nurse for our school district.

Uriah and Ava wrote letters to Melissa, a secretary at our school.

Jillian and Grace wrote letters to Bridget, a nurse.

Jake and Lydia wrote letters to some cafeteria staff that serves our class lunch everday.

Kadin, Bobby, and Annie chose Mr. Marolt.

Lukas, Chris, and Bryce wrote thank yous to Steve, our janitor.

Coby, Mandi, and Dominic wrote letters to Mr. Wienen.

Tami, a secretary at Challenger, got letters from Brea and Lea.
