Stuffies! I have never had a group of stuffies TP the library at a sleepover before. Don't worry. They are definitely going to help clean up too!

Aaaaaand good night, everyone! Shhhhhhhh... Third grade stuffies are sleeping soundly.

All settled in for Monsters Inc! Ms. Peterson loves that movie. Third graders, your stuffies are getting pretty sleepy...

Third grade stuffies brushed their teeth for bedtime! (Not really. We edited this photo. No stuffies were dampened in the making of this post.) But you should go brush your teeth for real! :smile

Story time at the third grade stuffy sleepover! We're reading "This is not a sleepy bear book" and "Pete the Cat and the bedtime blues". What are you reading tonight?

Dance party time at the third grade Stuffy Sleepover! Bust a move with us. :)

Wooo! The students are gone, and the third grade stuffy sleepover party has begun. We are starting the evening off with some coolmathgames.com

Buster and Jimmy got to help me with lunch duty today. Buster even helped me check out a big spider! (Don't worry. The spider is safely outside now.) More fun coming at our Third grade Stuffy Sleepover!

Third Grade Stuffy drop off is complete! These stuffies get to sleepover in the library tonight. Keep an eye here for updates.
