School Days

Katelyn's teachers are really good at taking pictures throughout the week and posting them to the school's photo sharing website. Since Michael and I are always curious to see what fills her days while she's there, we thought you might like a peek too. Enjoy the recent snapshots!

Making cotton ball sheep on pajama day - how appropriate! Zzzzz.

Working on a two-part turtle project. Step 1: Adding green food coloring to the "turtle shells" (pasta shells). Step 2: Gluing the shells to a small paper plate, covering the shells with plastic wrap to keep them in place, adding arms, legs, and eyes. Viola!
(I'm always impressed by the creativity of the teachers and the final products from the budding artists :)

Spaghetti for lunch. Equal parts yummy and messy! 

(Brave teachers, too :)

A little bit country hit the city! One day focused on a cowboy and cowgirl theme. Ya'll come back now, ya hear? (And obviously being a cowgirl is no joking matter.)

Exploring the inside of a pumpkin and discovering that "puck-in" seeds are "ticky!" (sticky not icky although both might be fair adjectives!)

And they collected the seeds for a pumpkin art project on display in their classroom.

Girl power! Prepping for the pumpkin project with friends Claire and Kennedy.

And a goofy grin for the camera!

Kate sure has a lot of fun at school! When we pull into the parking lot, she likes to announce "Cool! Cool!" and when I ask if she's excited for school she responds with, "Yeah!! Friends, friends!!" It's fun to just observe through the window for a minute when picking her up at the end of the day. She's usually either climbing on something, interacting with a little friend, or listening to the teacher read aloud if it happens to be story time. 

Thanks for reading. School's out!
