Goodies with Grands, Some Surprise Visitors, & A Pirate Invasion

Last week, we had Goodies with Grandparents. It was a special day for all. I still remember when my grandparents came to eat with me in elementary school. Precious memories. Thank you to those who were able to attend. I hope you enjoyed your visit! 

 

Last week, Payton celebrated his birthday. He is part of something called Team Impact in which he is involved with the Wofford Terriers. He stands on the sidelines with them at home games, so he has formed a bond with a lot of the players. They wanted to surprise him with a birthday visit. They (4 big football players) came after lunch and Payton was very surprised. They sang to him and then read 2 books aloud to the class. The book titles were Wink: The Ninja Who Wanted to Nap and Because I Stubbed My Toe. They read with a lot of expression and kept the class entertained. :) They gave Payton and the class a Wofford poster, and then they were on their way. Thank you so much to the Terriers for making it a special day for Payton and the entire class!

Finally, Dress Like A Pirate Day was Monday. A special thank you to Caylee for sharing her pack of eye patches with the students that didn't have pirate attire! Another pirate day is coming up during the Walk to School Week.
