Johnny Appleseed Day

Kindergarten is in full swing!

The first fun celebration the kids have had 

was to celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day.

Johnny came to visit and ready them a story.

He even hung around and had his photo taken with the kids!

He gave each child an apple as a treat.

Jackson kept saying he didn't want an apple because he 

didn't like apples...I think he ate 4 that day along with all

kinds of different apple treats!

The kids had lots of fun making home made applesauce

and it made their classroom smell sooo good!

One of the fun things the kids did was to make a 

Thank You card for Johnny coming to see them.

They made an apple tree out of their hands and then

made apples with their thumb prints and their name

to say "thanks"

They had so much fun dressing up and doing all of the fun

activities that Mrs. Hall had planned for them.

All About Jackson

Whew....

We have been running in a whirlwind around here lately...

Time for a little catch up!

A few weeks ago, it was Jackson's 

All About Me week at school.

The kids get to have a bulletin board in their classroom decorated

all week with photos and things that tell all about them

and then on Friday it's their All About Me Day.

They get to have a special snack and do 

whatever activity they want...

crafts or games...

I had gone the Friday before and set up his board.

We had photos of him as a baby,

Halloween photos, vacation photos,

family photos, birthday photos,

Auburn photos and just having fun photos.

I thought his little board turned out really cute.

All decked out in orange and blue!

We all dressed in Auburn colors for his all about me day

and had lots of fun telling his class all about the pictures we

choose to put on his board.

Jackson's favorite treats are Lemonade Popsicles and

ice cream, so we had both on hand and let the kids choose 

which treat they would like to have. 

Then we were off to do Jackson's favorite thing at school.

Playing on the Playground!

All the kids had fun outside and it was a beautiful day to 

be outside playing!

Scott had been out of town that week and flew back in at lunch and made it

to school just in time to start Jackson's All About Me...

he was so excited to see Scott!

It was a lot of fun and Jackson had fun telling his friends all

about the things that make him special.

At the end of the day, Jackson's treat from Mrs. Hall was

to take home their class mascot, Boomer.

Boomer went every where with us that weekend.

We took photos of all the fun things that he and Jackson did

and wrote in Boomer's special journal that

keeps track of everything that Boomer does with all of the

kids.  It's going to be fun to read all about Boomer's adventures 

at the end of the year.
