Vocabulary Parade!

Last Friday we celebrated our 2nd annual vocabulary parade!  The boys and girls school-wide dressed up as a word of their choice and we paraded around Anderson to show off our vocabulary! :)  Unfortunately, I was out that day and missed the festivities, but I am so impressed by the costumes I have seen in the photos!  Thank you so much for taking the time to help your little one choose a word and prepare his or her costume!  I appreciate your support of our fun learning activities at home!  A special thank you to the Bayon and Larsen families for sharing your photos with us.  Please feel free to send any photos you may have from the parade and I will gladly upload them to our blog! :)

Mother's Day "Poet-tea"

 
We recently celebrated our fabulous moms by having a special Mother's Day "Poet-tea".  The boys and girls worked especially hard preparing poems about mom to share with her in honor of her special day.  Our moms then joined us for some "wild" snacks and we shared our work with them.  It was such a special time with our moms!  We are thankful for all of our moms and appreciate all you do for us!  Happy Mother's Day!
