Precious Preemie Clothing Drive in Full Throttle!!!

Hey Nation of Firsts!!!!  I am pleased to tell you, we have passed our goal of 155 baby items!  We are currently at 160!  Yippeee!!!!  So EX.C.I.TED!  I could sing!  But I won't, because I love you all so much and I wouldn't want you to not like me anymore.  Again...I digress....


Check out these AWESOME photos of what's "hangn'" in the Firstie hallway!!!!

 Let's fill it up Lakeview!!!!

Look at these super cute little cutie hats!!!
I want one!!!!

The Precious Preemie Clothing Drive is a service project of the Firstie Nation and the Learning Readiness Classes of Mrs. Teske. This is the 3rd annual Preemie/Newborn Clothing Drive!
We will be collecting clothes sizes preemie-3/6 months until Nov. 19th.

On Nov. 20th, we will pack up my supa fast, supa cool Traverse and head out to Avera McKennan Hospital In Sioux Falls, S.D.  We will host a baby boutique, where bed rest mommies and NICU parents will have a chance to pick out baby items for their precious baby, for when they are ready to go home.

This is a melt your heart kind of experience.  My senate members...my community...my family...THANK YOU for supporting us!


SMOOCH!!!
President Varpness and the Senate!

Hey Cats and Kittens!



50th Day of School Daddy-O!
 In the Nation, we try to find as many cool dress up days as possible.  Enter...the 50th Day of School!  Half way to our supa cool 100th day party!  We needed to throw a shout out to the 50's!  When I "strolled" on in, my senate members looked at me and said, "Are those your jammies?"  (50th Day was also Red Ribbon jammie day.) Ummmm....no.



Here are my two favorite chick-a-dees, rock-n-rollin' in our 50's throw back apparel.
  (Do ya dig?)

Soooo...many of my firsties had no idea of what the 50's were, so we needed to take a trip..."Back to the Future."
Few of our 50th Day activities...
-50's vs. Now Anchor Chart  (I made cards with pictures of cars, t.v.'s, children, diners, from the 50's and today.  Firsties sorted them on the anchor chart.
-HULA HOOPS!
-Pandora 50's Music
-50 snack sort
My pretty mommy when she was a bitty baby girl in the 50's.

Punky Painting....so fun.  (See the jammies?)


On the look out for the Candy Corn Bandit!  (He stole our candy corn and hit the road.)  We learned about predictions and let our predictions lead us through the clues...back to our CANDY!!!!
