Mother Earth

This week's homework assignment theme was EARTH DAY.  

Here are some of the things we did to celebrate our green and blue home planet.  

Is it a coincidence that Earth Day and Mother's Day are celebrated close to each other?  I think NOT!

These "litter bugs" are completely made out of things we can recycle.
(Can you tell which litter bug belongs to Kacia? ;o)

We planted some seeds, covered with brown earth, poured some water...
then decorated their pail with stickers, sang songs and danced around them to help them grow.

We wrote about WATER, and named one reason (out of a bajillion) why it is important not to waste it.

Look at the blossoming young students focussed on their homework projects... making mama so proud!

Happy Mother Earth Day where ever you are!

Dr. Seuss Week

The kindergarteners celebrated Dr. Seuss' 80th birthday by having a book inspired theme all week.  Here's what last week looked like for us: 

Monday Cat in the Hat wear your craziest hat

Tuesday Fox in Socks wear your silliest socks

Wacky Wednesday wear your wackiest hair 

Thursday Wocket in my Pocket bring something little in your pocket

Friday Green Eggs and Ham

(Parents signed waivers stating their child wasn't allergic to anything in this title.  Eww.)

and their first book report was due.  

Here is Kacia's first book report.

Anakai's book report was Hop On Pop,
but I didn't snap a pic of her homework before she handed it in.
Oh well, next time.
But in the mean time, check this out!  Mrs. Obama reads "Green Eggs and Ham"

School Work

They came home from school with this art project from Social Studies class. 

It celebrates Christopher Columbus' voyage.

     Mama - Yes you do!  You don't have any brothers.

     [Mama - shakes head into hand and moves on to the next question.]

3.  What type of work do Mom & Dad do?

     A - Papa catches all the bad guys.
