Jackson's Class/Birthday

Ok, so I am planning a party for Jackson's fifth birthday; it's on my to-do list this weekend. But yesterday (Thursday) when I picked him up from school, his teacher randomly said to me "if you want to volunteer anytime inthe classroom we'd love to have you!" Which kind of made me feel like she didn't think I wanted to come in/help...I had just brought the class pet (beta fish) in 2 days before!!! Anyway, ofcourse I said, "sure. do you need a volunteer for anything in particular??" and she right away started naming things- then decided for me that I should be in charge of the "birthday box." So I said sure, what's that? Like a treasure chest??? She said just a box full of party supplies for when the kids have birthdays, and since Jackson's is next week when school won't be in she thought maybe I could bring a treat to share with the class for him. SO- off to Party City I went and fill this huge box full of paper plates. napkins,forks, horns blowers, Birthday crowns, clappers, candy, table clothes, and a banner...I thought it was a pretty good box, although more than what she was expecting I think (but I'm new at this schoool mommy thing so didn't really know what I was doing), but either way she was really excited and grateful that she got to keep it!

Once I got there I passed out cupcakes, we sang, and then I read the class a story for the end of the day.... here are some pictures of his class! Note: Maddox was pretty excited he got to be a part of the "big kids" day!
