BAKE SALE! What a fun time Paco had at his school's event this week. There were so many fresh baked treats it was hard to decide what to buy. Paco's favorites were the lemon bars, chocolate cupcakes, and his very own Bird's Nests.  The Bake Sale was held to help raise money for a new playground! It was a great turnout.

Paco had a lot of fun making his special Bird's Nests treats for the Bake Sale. Now he is sharing his recipe with you! Give them a try and share a picture of how yours turned out in the comments. YUM! YUM!

Paco had a fabulous trip to the mall this week! Bud the Bear and mom made the trip with him to find a new bike. He had been saving his money so he could buy the bike he really wanted. It was a great lesson to help Paco learn about the value of money. His new bike will definitely get a lot of use. He is one happy Parrot!

Paco is happy that there are so many great teachers out there to help kids learn. Teachers are some of the greatest community helpers and can be very inspiring! Paco had a nice visit with his first teacher last week and he met some of the kids in her current class. What a treat that was! Have you ever visited a former teacher to say "Thank You"? 

Paco created some special Thank You cards to share with your teachers, or anyone who helps you that you want to say, "Thank you" too! There are a lot of people in our lives who help us grow and learn. Just print out the activity sheet to make your own cards and share with someone special.
