Ally's 11th Birthday Party

  1. Today we had Ally's 11th Birthday Party! She wanted a webkinz Halloween Party, so that's what we had. As the girls got here we made bottle tops necklaces for the girls, and beaded necklaces for their webkinz. Then we had a treasure hunt, with the kids finding the wheel of wow (prizes included) Next we have a spider web webkinz hunt (the last picture is what it looked like before they started) Dinner included tacos (Ally's favorite,) chips and salsa, rice, and beans. We had a haunted table with desserts, and opened presents. We ended our evening with Halloween charades. We had lots of girls and they all had a great time.

Pumpkin Patch


One of the fun things about Pre-k at ACS is there are a lot of field trips. Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch that they have out at DRI. It was a little bit chilly, but it was a good time.

The DRI folks really know what they are doing. The kids get to look at all the different pumpkin (there are a ton and many different kinds.) Of course the teachers and moms use this time to take pictures. Then there is a pumpkin story time, and hayride. It's been really wet in Abilene, so the hayride had to stay on the street, but the kids thought it was great.

They each got their own little pumpkin and Kase's teacher got a larger pumpkin that the kids get to carve on another day.

Charlotte's Web

In second grade at ACS the first group the class reads together is Charlotte's Webb. At the end of the book the kids do a diorama of one scene in the book. Samantha choose the fair scene for hers. She painted the background, built the fence, made the web, and made the spider and food and water buckets out of clay. She had a lot of fun doing this project and I think she did a great job.
