Party! PaRtY! PARTY!

March 28, 2015 by Amber Masters

Hi there! 
 I am so excited to share about a pretty special day in my classroom today!!
MY BIRTHDAY!!

I don’t know about you but I think birthdays are a BIG deal no matter how old you are turning! My husband completely disagrees with me but has given in to treating me like the queen for the entire month of March! #winning

So……..
 it all started a few weeks ago when I received an email from a parent in my classroom that said her sweet daughter came home and told her family that she couldn’t wait to come to my birthday party…..
Uh oh!….. 
It was during calendar time that I shared with my students that March was my favorite month of the year,  for many reasons.
1. It’s March Madness
2. Spring Arrives
3. It’s my BIRTHDAY!
 ***Apparently, this translates into” I’m having a birthday party! Please come!”

So….needless to say I had a party to plan! 
My birthday actually fell on a Saturday this year so I decided that we would celebrate the Wednesday after (I get to see both classes one Wednesdays, because they each come a half day but only on Wednesdays….I know, crazy schedule)!
The first step was creating some invitations to send home to get them way too excited!


Next up, stocking up on supplies for the BIG DAY!
I headed to Party City and Walmart and found lots of decorations for the classroom and their goodie bags. I also may or may not have bought a helium tank… 🙂 
I mean come on, you have to get balloons!!



Tuesday evening was the time to set up the classroom and get ready for the PARTY! Mr. Masters even came to help me put together goodie bags and prepare their chairs for the balloons!



The BEST part of the BIG DAY was that MR. MASTERS WAS COMING IN TO HELP US CELEBRATE! The kids have been asking for him to come in all year and this was the perfect occasion! 
The morning of the party, Mr. Masters and I got the balloons inflated and put a few finishing touches on the classroom! 







Even our pet, Marley, decided to join in on all the fun!


Obviously for our read aloud, we enjoyed an Elephant and Piggie book that aligned perfectly!

 Mr. Masters completed his first read aloud ever! He read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (the birthday girl’s favorite!). We just had the best day, watching my kinders enjoy being 5 and 6 years old! Their faces beamed with pure joy! I heard from so many of my little friends that it was the best day of school ever!

This one, however, will for sure be running well into the school year. 😂🏡

After years of looking for land, designing our home, clearing the property, and then making more changes to the house plans (because apparently we weren’t done making decisions 😂), we’re excited to say… WE BROKE GROUND! 🚜🎉

We’re so excited for the journey ahead and plan to enjoy the ride! 🏡🤍✨

Swipe to see some of the progress over the past 3.5 years with our land! 🩷

🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smili 🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smiling from my first-ever Campfire at FlyingHorseFarms!

Flying Horse Farms is this magical camp in Central Ohio, where kids with serious illnesses get to just be kids — to laugh, play, and make memories that heal in ways medicine can’t. 🏕️✨

Camp isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. A reminder that when all kids get to be kids, the world shines a little brighter. 🩷

Seeing that magic up close reminded me how powerful community can be when we come together. 🫶🏻

But here’s the best part: camp is 100% free for every family — all thanks to incredible volunteers and donors who make the magic possible. 🙌

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get involved… this is it. ✨
Join me and be a part of something truly amazing! 

💚 Volunteer: Be the reason a camper smiles! 

💚 Donate: Every dollar keeps campfires glowing and hearts healing.
