An Inside Break…..

We’ve been having breaks inside lately.  The kids always love silent ball, so that’s what they play.  Silent ball…..silent ball…..silent ball……

I got tired of silent ball.  So, with some reluctance, they played the invisible football game we played last year some. This game requires a little concentration at counting leg taps.   They ended up having an awesome time……some at Aaron’s expense.  He ended up in jail many times.  To get out of jail, he and a few of his peers had to do some pretty interesting things! 

Thanks, Aaron, for being such a good sport. 

The 100th day of School!

Even the “big kids” wanted to get involved in the 100th Day Activities. They did 100 exercises, came up with ideas to show 100 things, and created Math problems equal to 100.  Some even wore 100 things or brought 100 things to share.  What fun!

What a fun day!

Last week, we studied about the 50th state in the United States.  The kids enjoyed learning a poem, tasting pineapple, doing a pineapple craft, and much more.
