From Pop to the Top - Funtastic Adventures in the Summer Sun!

[Poolrat]

Everything looks great in your classroom! I am just about to start a new job as Director of the preschool that all of my girls have attended. I mentioned to the outgoing director your idea for the "You've got a friend..." bulletin board and she told me I am not allowed to do anything with any Disney characters because Disney is considered violent! I can see the point, but at the same time-don't you think that most 3 and 4 year olds have not only seen Disney movies and characters but love them too??? Sometimes I just don't understand this world.

Clearly the wide spread appeal of characters is indication that the perceived violence is not making a lasting negative effect.

MeMom your room looks great! I know your kids are going to love learning in your classroom this year.

Sounds like you had a very nice birthday weekend. How sweet of Jarvis to think of you on your birthday and bring a present. Brooklynn's cake looks yummy!

I want to be in your class! Your classroom is fantastic! My kids would totally love it!

I really enjoyed the parade photos. You had a great viewing spot. Can't wait for more!

Those little girls get cuter each time I see a picture of them. I would like to have a Bella in a bag.

Your classroom looks really cute. I bet your students will be excited to be in there.

You did an awesome job on your classroom!

I wish my childhood classrooms had Disney touches .... that would have been soo fun!

You got some great pins to add to your collection!

I love the 3 things Nemo is asking them to remember!

Awww, there are those Epcot plush dolls that Lexi likes so much.
I remember seeing them from another post way back when.

I've never seen that Scorceror Mickey before, is he new?

Good to see that Rafiki made it to his special place in your class.
The area turned out Fantastic!

It must be so fun to watch the girls at play.
Do I see Fisher price toys..... I still have the 70's versions of those toys! I was a HUGE Fisher Price fan!

The girls matching dresses are adorable.

It was very thoughtful of Jarvis to remember your birthday, he is one special guy!

Your classroom is great! Makes me wish I was a teacher!

You know we're going to need to see a cupcake cake now, right?

Disney violent? Okay, someone is going to have to explain that to me. I refuse to let my kids watch the majority of cartoons that are not Disney due to violence and horrible behavior.
Love your classroom!! The Toy Story board is so awesome!!

I love the Disney touches in your classroom!

 

[punkin413]

love the classroom! it looks great. if only all teachers would include all those disney touches!

Bella-in-a-bag.

cute! do they sell those at disney? i may have to get one next time!

enjoy your last few free days! our city school system started yesterday and luke had his first day of 1st grade. anna said he loved it! ray's nephew lives in the next town over and they don't start until the end of next week. the school board had to vote on whether they would postpone the beginning of the school year or let some teachers go and they went with the first option. a lot of people were upset because of less school days, but i think it's a great option. keeps the teachers in the classroom and if i remember correctly, we started around labor day when i was a kid and we all (or most of us anyway) turned out okay!

I just loved the videos and meeting the princesses and riding Barnstormer...got my Disney fix for the day!!!
Love your classroom! When do you start school?? We got out so late I am still not quite ready to go back yet!!!

Just got back from Maine (Bangor and Bar Harbor) and got all caught up. Great parade pics and those videos are fantastic.

Hey you were in my neck of the woods (OK, a bit north of me, but still). Hope you had a great time in Maine!

We did. We have been to Bangor many times but this one was on the few summer trips that we weren't getting on a plane and flying to WDW. That was a bit of a bummer. We had never been to Bar Harbor before and we only got a quick look around before driving back home but it is a beautiful spot. I think I got some great pictures but I haven't taken them off the camera yet to check.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I think your classroom looks great and the Disney touches are adorable! Was the Toy Story bulletin board a set? So cute!!

I managed to get mine finished Sunday night late but no pictures taken. Next time I get to school I'll take the camera and snap some to share...

That bag o' Bella certainly put a smile on my face!

One of my students made a cupcake cake last year and it was very cute, I'm sure Brooklynn will bake up a lovely creation the next time she comes for a visit.
Does it take a standard cake mix?

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I want my kids to be in your classroom MeMom! I adore the Disney touches. I'm glad you had a nice, relaxing birthday weekend with your three girls. Sounds about perfect to me.

...keeps the teachers in the classroom and if i remember correctly, we started around labor day when i was a kid and we all (or most of us anyway) turned out okay!

yeah, the schools up here start school the day after labor day. but then again, they end around june 15th. so i guess there's pros and cons to both!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Your classroom looks great. Those are very lucky kids, for sure!!

Love the bag 'o Bella.

So happy you enjoyed your b-day weekend and have plans to enjoy this week before it's back to the grindstone on Monday. Enjoy!!

Your bulletin boards look great

all your new pins ! My fav is the MSEP one with Pete's Dragon !

Cute pictures of the girls playing this weekend . I saw a record player on the floor there that reminds me of the one my kids play with that was mine as a kid ! I assume it must have been your kids (mine was Sesame Street )

How sweet of Jarvis to get you a Birthday present Can't wait to see the 1st giant cupcake you bake !

 

[ClaireW]

Love the Disney touches around the classroom. It's a shame that not everyone is allowed to do the same Although I'd be tempted to sneak in a few words/phrases just for me, even if there were no characters present!

Looks like the weekend was perfect family time, no need for any other excitement

 

[stobaugh6]

Great trip report!
