Jumping for Joy!

A trip to Gym Jesters is always the highlight field trip of our Kindergarten year!  This year was no exception.  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the continuous exercise and fun.  We used the rings to swing over and into the foam pit, even though it too a lot of our muscles to get ourselves out again!  We ran and jumped, climbed and slid down the zip line, we bounced on the trampoline, and played on the climbing wall.  It was a great experience, one that they are still talking about a week later!

Reading Friends are the Best!

We had a great time with our Wescourt Reading Buddies last week!  To celebrate National Young Reader Day, our friends from the retirement village here in town came over on their bus to read to us for a whole hour!  We read to them first, and then they picked some great books to share with our groups.  We are so thankful for the friendships we have made with the residents of Wescourt, and can't wait for our next adventure with them!

 Miss Melissa brought the friends, and joined in as a reader!

 Even Mrs. Gallegos got in on the fun!

P is for Puppy!!

We wrapped up our busy week with a visit from Max!  Everyone enjoyed playing with him, and letting him explore our room.  He was REALLY well behaved, too, so that was nice to see.  Our daughter Katie is training him to be a therapy dog (to visit hospitals and nursing homes), so this was a great way to acclimate him to a lot of people at one time!

P is for Painting!

We have enjoyed learning about Joseph and his coat of many colors during our Jesus Time.  We decided to explore with paper towel Joseph coats and watercolor paints, and the results were AWESOME!
