I'm getting behind on my school life pictures. Here's a quick post of our daily life in school. New shoes!! It's unbelievable how quickly my kids go through shoes...I feel like they drag their toes across the pavement and the shoes get ripped to shreds. The last pair I actually invested in good quality (read expensive) shoes in hopes that they would last longer than 3 months...no difference. I'm back to Target shoes and they love them!
National Ride Your Bike to School Day! Or scooter. Each child who rode a bike or scooter was met with a sticker, pencil and got to participate in the parade of wheel in the play yard.
A little school art. I love Timo's witch using egg crates as the eyes. And Cameron's class is studying the sight word "see". They had to draw pictures of things they hope to see "see" one day.
Picture day! I volunteered to help out with picture day and it was so much fun seeing all the students all dressed up. It was especially nice to see my two good looking kiddos...and fun to see the action behind the scene.
Cameron's class has this really cool activity for all the kids to get to know each other better...it's called the "ME BAG." Each week a different child takes the Me Bag home and fills it with all their favorite things, books, pictures...anything about themselves. Last week was Cameron's turn and she had a really hard time narrowing things down to fit in the bag, which after talking to a few other moms, is a common problem. Good thing Mrs. Marcia made it a small bag. A few of the things she included were her T-Rex from the Natural History Museum in NC (suggested souvenir) Wowsy-her dog that sings "Jesus Loves Me", a Switch & Go dino (her fav toy), the Elephant and Piggy book b/c she can read it all by herself, her Iron Man book and a few other little items. It was funny, when she pulled out a family photo the class started shouting "that's Timo!" Lot's of her classmates didn't know Timo was her brother so she proudly explained they were twins and had the same birthday but that he was older.
One thing our school does that I love is work with local business for fundraising. Each month we have a different "Argonne Family Night" at a local business and a percent of that evening sales goes back to Argonne. This was one night at Green Apple Books and Toy Boat desserts. Can you guess who's book belongs to who??
Just a little taste of school life so far...October has been a busy month so stay tuned for lot's more...
