Fun Friday

I spent some time at Lexi's school this morning, the last time for a while as I won't be available during the day anymore. When she signed in, she wrote her whole first name without any help! Hoorah! She's finally got it - she used to get half way through and then need assistance with which letter came next.

I went to the All School Meeting with her class. All grades up through 2nd grade meet in the gym where they have a "meeting". The agenda is posted up front so everyone can see it and they go in order. Awards are given out for kids who have been nice or worked hard, people who had birthdays in December were recognized and everyone brought a book and spent 3 minutes reading (after singing a chant about reading). It was neat to see Lexi participating - doing hand signs when called for, chanting along with everyone else.

I told the class after snack time that this would be the last time that Natalie and I would be coming in as I had to go back to work.

At recess, I noticed that Lexi does seem to be quite popular. She was certainly leading the pack around the playground.

Yesterday they had International Food Day and asked us to bring something in so there would be a little bit for everyone to try. I brought in couscous. They had so much food, the couscous was consumed today. Many kids told me that they had never had it before.

Natalie has been particularly vocal today. Not sure if it is because of going to school or what.
