Improvised insect day!

We were going to go outside today and walk around the school to see how many different kinds of insects we could find.  Because of the weather, we did our plan B.  We dug for insects in a bucket of rice!  One kiddo even screamed when he found the spider because it startled him!!

Cooking club- smoothies

We had a delicious cooking club today!  And it was nutritious!  We made fruits and veggie smoothies!  They had coconut milk, Greek yogurt, agave, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, spinach. and kale!  I think everyone's favorite was when we added 3 bananas! Thank you Mr. Thad, aka Mr. Smoothie Man, aka Mr. Best Cook in the World, for a great cooking club!

Measurement

To learn about measuring, we got to measure each other!  It was fun to see how many "cues" tall each person is!  It was also hat day so a lot of the kids wore their hats to give them some "extra cubes!!"

Gum Game Day!

You just don't know how a "gum game day" will go in kindergarten!  Luckily ours was awesome!  The kids had so much fun chewing their gum and teaching others how to play their game!

Thank you, Mrs. Tina!

My stepmom, Mrs. Tina, visited us and made us gluten free mustache cupcakes.  They were made with banana and pumpkin and they were delicious!  Thank you, Mrs. Tina!

Dad Day!

Today was dad day in kindergarten and it was a blast!  Dad's got to come for recess then stay to teach us how to shave and to be interviewed!  It was an awesome day!  And to top it off, my dad got to come too!

The kids got to ask the dad's some questions!

The dads taught the kids how to shave!

Then the kids got to shave their dad!

I didn't get off of the hook...the kids practiced on me too!!

It was fun to have my dad at school today too.  He just happened to be in from Louisiana today!

I love this!  Here is Logan's reaction to dad day: “I like shaving.  Love mom and dad.  It was fun.  I love dad day.  It was the best day ever.  I love my dad.  He is awesome.  Shaving is fun.  I can’t wait for being a grown-up.  It is awesome.”

Russell Sprouts came for a visit!

Every year in my class, I have the kids try a Brussels Sprout.  To do this we talk about my brother Russell who I used to call Russell Sprouts when we were younger (sorry Russell.)  To this day he won't eat Brussels Sprouts because of it.  The kids though love the story and are always eager to try one so we can call Russell and tell him that we are eating Russell Sprouts!  Well, this class got luck because Russell Sprouts came to visit us!  And he even wore an I love Brussels Sprouts shirt!  He's such a good sport!  Kids from all different grades were so excited to get a peek of him on the playground today!!
