Art Wall May 2014

Top Row: the letter E paper, the letter Y paper, an emotion icon drawing, tangram math paper

Middle Row: Bunny puzzle, a kleido scope butterfly (my favorite picture and I am having it framed), Easter egg painting, a fluffy sheep; a hawk puzzle

Bottom Row: a painted igloo house; a math paper; shamrock painting; pine trees water color; shamrock

I had my camera out and so the kids posed for a whole bunch of pictures.  Grant thought it was hilarious that he was going upside down head first down a slide.  

Direction Hat

In January Grant learned about how to give directions at school.  He made this direction hat at school.  I think he was supposed to wear it, but he made it WAY too small.  It didn't even sit on the crown of his head.  When he put it on it looked like a little Yakama hat.  It made me chuckle.  The hat did fit Celeste perfectly!  She thought she was pretty cute, which she is.  So we took a picture…or two…or ten.

First Day of School

Grant is in afternoon Kindergarten and loves it so far.  I am so glad we didn't do morning.  He likes his teacher, Ms. Clegg, and has made lots of new friends.  

The most important thing to him is being first in line.  We had a small issue this past week about running to school without me.  I had a discussion about safety on the road and parking lot, but he continued to run away from me.  I finally figured out he just wanted to be the first kindergartener in line.  We now leave a few minutes early so we can be safe and first in line.

Grant was upset the first day because we didn't know he was supposed to bring a water bottle and a snack.  It was on Ms. Clegg's website, but I didn't know I was supposed to read her 10 page document before school started.  I barely found out he had Ms. Clegg on Friday, met her Monday, and school started Tuesday.  I felt bad for not knowing and we sent him with everything he needed on Wednesday.

Here is the first of many first day of school photos.  I realized Grant will be in Fifth grade when Celeste starts Kindergarten.  Holy Smokes! I love the picture of the two of them.  

I walked to school with Grant a few times before school started so I would know how long it would take.  The first day it took longer than I expected.  He barely made it.  I felt bad that I didn't get him there sooner.  He had to run to get into the classroom with the other kids.  Ms. Clegg invited the parents into the classroom to wave goodbye to the kids.  I sure did miss him!
