Alice in Wonderland Party Ideas.

The Alice in Wonderland story has been around for over a 100 years. Kids and adults have been inspired by the silly story of a girl who chases a rabbit into a rabbit hole. Once in the rabbit hole, she meets very strange and eerie characters. She manages to shrink and grow tall throughout the story and interacts with a silly cat who convinces her to attend a tea party with a talking rabbit and the Mad Hatter. As the story continues, common sense quotes come out of all characters involved in the story. One of my favorite quotes from this story: "There is no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person."

"I knew who I was this morning but I've changed a few times since then." Alice

"I'm not crazy. My reality is just different than yours." Chester the Cat

"Not all who wonder are lost." The White Rabbit

Inspired by the story of Alice and Wonderland, I made a few decorations for a Valentine's Day party for my sons' classroom. I started with making giant roses as table decorations. These are quick and very simple to make. You can learn how to make them by viewing my post: How to make Giant Paper Flowers.

I made printables to cut and use as decoration for the food table. They were very easy to make. I will share this printable at the end of this post.

It would not be a party without someone dressing up as the White Rabbit and his clock. Okay, it was suppose to be a pocket watch not a clock. It made it more fun to dress up with a big giant clock and bunny ears. Dressing up is optional however, it is much more fun for the kids and adults attending the party.

Do not have a party to attend? No problem. Just create these wonderful decorations for your home and watch your family light up with joy. The giant flowers are now making my home bright and cheerful.

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area. This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement. She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me. Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test." Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this: ...

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer. The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard. I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

Field Trip to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Buena Park

My family and I were invited to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament for an afternoon of entertainment. I want to tell you about our journey into the Middle Ages via Medieval Times. It began at the will-call window with the kind clerk suggesting we visit their museum for a small fee. We said yes immediately to exploring their Middle Ages Museum called “The Museum of Torture”. It sounded interesting and educational to see Medieval exhibits. As we headed to the museum, a women dressed in traditional Middle Ages attire adorned all of us with blue crowns. We were assigned Don Alberto Del Mau as our Knight for the tournament. This meant we would have to cheer and support our Knight into battle. Don Alberto Del Mau is a young squire who is renowned as a champion of the defenseless. Armed with this knowledge, we set out to visit the Museum of Torture. Inside the museum, we realized that living in the Middle ages was a terrible time for all who crossed Royalty. ...
