Nifty Fifty!
Last night Jeff and found ourselves once again in the front row. This time it was the Pearl's turn to wow us! She and her classmates have been working very hard for the last six plus weeks on a gigantic state report. The culmination was an amazing show and event called "The Nifty Fifty." Not only did Ainsley and her peers work on individual major reports, and salt relief maps, they also performed 19 songs! Ainsley was a flight attendant on this tour of our country. She also was one of four couples in "The Yellow Rose of Texas" and she played the Xylophone (very well I would like to proudly add) in their wonderful song about Minnesota!
It was a very special night that showed how talented these special Third Graders are! They have had the kind of year that they will never forget! They have been blessed with two very special teachers that we will miss next year!
Ainsley was assigned the state of Kentucky which was fun for her (and Jeff!) Her "Little Grandma" and Uncle Greg and Aunt Tina live there. Thanks Greg for the great interview!!! Ainsley received 99 out of 100 on this report! Her hard work paid off!
My job was to bake a cake in the shape of KY for the party last night... It was added to the other 49 states in our country to make one amazing state map!!! It was a wonderful night!!
Four more days of school for The Pearl!!

Loved it! I am teacher to fourth graders and this is a great idea. We work on our States and capitols and this is wonderful!! Thanks for sharing!
What a COOL idea!!! Love it!
That is so awesome!The cake is a masterpiece...I would have been praying not to get Texas for obvious reasons!
A wonderful school!!!
The cake idea is so cute....I bet a few states were a challenge to bake!!
Listen up, that cake is absolutely smashing. Honestly. You must be so proud of your girl - she is pretty amazing!
Btw, I will do a post soon on photo editing - I've been saying that a lot lately and haven't gotten around to it. I don't use lightroom, I use photoshop and I don't even know how to use it myself, but I have learned how to use 'actions'. I have a few free sets. Pioneer Woman has an amazing set, they're great. Just email me if you have any more questions.

What an awesome production - You've got to be awfully proud! What a neat cake!! I just can't believe how much your (and my) girls are growing up.
What fun! Brings back great memories as our kids did a Nifty Fifty program back in the US too. But your decorations (and that cake) rock! WOW! Amazing!
What fun!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,
