Your boards look fantastic. I have 3 grandkids that started school yesterday. Jacob and Grace are in 2nd and Christian is in Kdg. they would love to come into a room like that everyday. Are any of your kids Disney kids?
I don't know yet. I will meet them tomorrow and we'll see what kinds of reactions I get.
I was wondering the same thing - do you find opportunities to talk Disney in the classroom?
I'll never forget the time one of my 7 year old students got all animated and recounted the tale of how whilst he was on a safari at Disney something really exciting happened and they had to save a baby elephant from some poachers! I stopped short of saying "us too!".
Love the Disney touches in the classroom. I used to do the same - a few plushies and my favourite when I was with the little ones - a Disney A-Z and 1-20.
One of my students from year before last went to Disney World in June with his family. They stayed at All Star Sports, I believe. He was so excited about the trip at the end of last school year. Every time he'd see me in the hall, he'd tell me his countdown. There's a family that goes once a year, too, and I think they are going during fall break this year.
I sneak in a few Disney books here and there during Rocker Reading time. That's when they gather around my rocking chair and I just read
fun books - nothing that involves a particular subject. They like Disney, Berenstain Bears, Clifford, Amelia Bedelia, etc.
No, no definitely not crazy in the least, even hypothetically.
Can you imagine having your classroom in Disney World?
I would like to work in the educational department in Animal Kingdom. That would be a great combination of my teaching and my Disney addiction!
Memom,
Your room looks great. Brooklynn's picture with the "Steps" is great, and I love the picture of her with Mike and Sullly. You had a really clever idea for using your pins.
You have really entertaining dreams. I love your latest one. The best part is the Disney parade coming down the hall and you having to take pictures.
Thanks for sharing your experiences, I feel like I have known you all forever. I would love to meet you all one day.
I have had some crazy dreams, for sure. I once dreamed that I was trying to make a phone call, but it wasn't going through. You had to feed the phone with M&M's instead of coins, and I was down to my last M&M! It was so frustrating, because it was an old dial phone and there were no numbers! I was having to guess ho far to turn the dial!. Yeah, that was a weird dream.
We'd love to meet you, too! You can always come to the Poly beach on NYE!
I love love love your classroom! Wanna come help decorate mine?
Your kids will love the Disney touches!
DH is going with me tomorrow to help set up. My bum ankle is really putting me behind...I figured I would be done by now! Oh well, I'm glad he is able to come help and it will get done somehow!
I'm going to have to take a trip to the
Disney Store soon to see if I can find a halloween bag. Hannah has been begging to go and I went without her last time I went...she was not very happy with me.
I would if you lived closer. Between your bum ankle and my bum knee, we'd be a sight!
How dare you let Hannah know you went to the Disney Store without her!
MeMom, I want to come and teach with you but I'd like to have a classroom with a roof please!
AND if you are out purchasing those Halloween bags.....
I prefer a roof, too, but if it's near the Brown Derby, I might reconsider.
I will go to the Disney Store on Sunday afternoon. If you want one, just let me know before Sunday morning so I'll know how many to get.
MeMom,
I am coming to TN tomorrow! I will have to keep a look out for that Mickey Halloween Bag, I think I may need a few for our October trip...
Anywhere near Nashville? I have to be in school all day tomorrow, but you are welcome to come see my classroom!
That's right! No more testing. Ok, I'm coming back. I'm only 5'2" so hopefully I won't stick out too much.
No more testing for now, anyway. They told us it'll only be a few years before 2nd is testing. I give up!!!
! When I worked at the school I made a huge Mickey in a race car-we were racing to kindergarden! I enjoyed working with the kids!
I can't wait to get one of the Halloween bags in Oct. We don't have a Disney store around here anymore!
There are so many good ideas for 'sneaking' some Disneyness into our everyday lives!
Love your classroom Memom!!! I want to come to school at your school!!!
Come on!
Wish I were going into 2nd grade instead of 11th
Such a cute classroom!
Next year, you'll be so glad you are a senior!
Great classroom pics! I can't remember school being that exciting and fun when I was there!
I thought of some great news to share with you today - my Dad asked my Mum what she wanted for her birthday and she said "to go and see Mickey Mouse and ride Big Thunder Mountain" (because she wouldn't go on it on her own in November when we went and I couldn't because I was baking Toby in my oven!!!) so................ he's booked them a week in Orlando!!! They depart London on 27th August and she will be there for her birthday on 29th August.
I suddenly remembered today about the "What will you Celebrate" promotion and said she could get in for free!!! She is very excited so she will definitely be visiting the MK on her actual birthday. She is even excited about getting a badge to wear and CMs singing Happy Birthday to her!!!
I'm so excited for her but of course very jealous! They plan to spend 1 day at MK and 1 day at AK (Mum's favourite park) and 1 day at DTD shopping and the rest relaxing at their hotel (off-site!). They would like to have dinner at Boma on Mum's birthday so please keep everything crossed I can make an ADR for her! I think I will also arrange a cake for her afterwards!
Anywhere... where is this report?!?!?!
Julie xxxxxxxxxxxx
Very nice for your mom! MK and AK sounds like an excellent plan, and then lots of time for relaxing!
There is a report; I promise. Just a little bit longer.
Hi Memom and Jill
Just wanted to come out of lurkdom and say hi. I've been reading and enjoying your trip reports for quite a while now, ever since my daughter (Megablocks) told me how much fun it was over here in your neck of the woods!
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.
If you're kin to Megablocks, then you're welcome here. Such a sweet girl! I know you are proud of the fine young lady she is! We do have fun over here, and we actually write reports, if you can hang around long enough for us to get started!
Hi MeMom, Jill and family,
Re-coming out of lurkdom. I posted a couple times on last year's summer TR but haven't been on much lately. Can't get on anymore at work so it's hard to find the time sometimes at home.
Anyway, you all have so much fun here that I just wanted to join in. I'm having major withdrawals since our June trip and probably won't be back until next summer, so I'll enjoy reading about your fun and help me relive all of our memories too. Maybe someday I'll write my own TR.
I love all your pictures, your Disney touches in your classroom, and your beautiful granddaughters.
Thanks for sharing!
Alice
Let us know if you write a trip report. I love to see other people's pictures. Reports are time consuming, though, and there is a commitment in doing them.
I'm glad you like my beautiful girls. I like them, too!
I guess I too will come out of lurkdom. I have enjoyed all your previous trip reports. This one has helped pass the time as I recover from knee surgery.
Love all the early morning pictures of the resorts. Hope to get some myself next month.
So very glad you chimed in!
We'll look forward to seeing your morning pictures. How long will you be there?
Please tell me all about your knee - symptoms, diagnosis, and what you had done. Mine is not good, and I have to just make that phone call to the doctor soon.
This has been a good day for new readers, or at least new readers who spoke up! We are very glad to have you all!
