The egg, the election, and Cheetah Charge

As if today wasn't already exciting enough...we came in the room to find this...

Bella laid an egg!
She laid one this summer at my house but we didn't get it incubated in time. This egg looks really good! Sweet Mrs. Keeney plugged up her incubator and warmed it for us for the day. I will take it home and put it in another incubator. We'll see how it goes! It sure would be fun to have a baby gecko!

I was so proud of the kids who ran for student council. The class really enjoyed listening to their campaign speeches and voting. While it breaks my heart that they all couldn't be chosen as student council reps., it was nice to see the good sportmanship among candidates and the great attitudes. They are truly all "winners" in my book!

To finish out a great week, we had the Cheetah Charge and Fun Run. Here are our awesome Cheetah Charge runners!

They've definitely got speed! Our class is very proud of them for participating in the Cheetah Charge and giving it their all, despite the COLD, WINDY WEATHER!

And here we are ready for the Fun Run! Go Team Woolard!

It was a wonderful experience for everyone! The kids have worked so hard to raise money for our school. I still haven't heard if we are the winners of the school yet, but I do know that a good many pledges were brought in today. Thank you to all of the parents who gave pledges, took pledge sheets to work with them, helped take up pledges each morning and get the kids motivated, and who helped with the Fun Run! I feel so blessed to be part of such an amazing school and class!
