Box Full of Sunshine

My teacher, Mrs Oglesby, has to have surgery and will not be at school for the next six weeks.  She was really sad about missing so much school.  I felt like we should do something for her to cheer her up so my mom and I put together an idea. 

We decided to give her a box full of sunshine. 

We bought tons of stuff that is yellow for the box so it would be like sunshine. We bought yellow trail mix, yellow caramel candy, yellow lip balm, yellow fruit thins, yellow fuzzy socks, and yellow lotion. we put it in the box and put polka dot ribbon on the box and a yellow flower. 

I gave her the box and she looked at me kind of teary eyed and said she was overwhelmed. She kept calling me honey and sweetie pie. I have a feeling she liked it!

Republican Campaign Headquarters

Guess who is a staffer at the Republican Campaign Headquarters??!!

ME!!  Well, at least at Beck Elementary.  We are having a mock election.  We got to apply for a lot of different jobs, and both the Democratic and the Republican candidates are represented equally.  We are going to campaign for our candidates for the next few weeks, have speeches on election day, and all of the students get to vote.

I'm on the committee to help get Romney elected president.  We are planning lots of cool stuff to hand out, posters to make, and other ways to promote Romney.  I'm excited ... this is going to be cool!
