Hampton Hot Day


do you remember last week we had a heavy rainstorm?? and now hoping to hit 80 degrees, but i'll settle for 79. i pulled out the first dress on top in the spring&summer bin. it was the gap hampton one, ariana worn this on the first day of school. get this - it was too hot to wear the the matching blue shrug. i dug into her shoe cabinet to pull out the black saltwaters sandals.
the kinders had a busy schedule. first it was arts vista, the docent showed several paintings of houses. afterwards the kids were instructed to draw a dream house they would like to live in. they used pastel chalk and given a paper towel to smear it for the shaded-look. ariana drew a castle house with a tower. when she showed me her finished art work - "do you think the museum would like this?" the kids never get to take home their art vistas projects, as they will be auctioned off on gallery night in may. next on the agenda, they are still working on writing "how to" steps. todays lesson was "how to make chocolate chip pancakes". the 2 teachers acted it out, where the instructor had to give precise instructions or else. the children had a blast, very similar to mr noodle on sesame street. cant go wrong with yummy pancakes, and the entertainment. the children played grabbed the eraser tag, where some kids were left in tears. one her foot hurt in new shoes, another girl didnt feel like playing thinking it was not lady-like, and one because she tied with ariana and thought she lost. if you dont grab the eraser, then you tag the person who got it. well one kid (girl) knocked down a boy ending up crying (i think his elbow arm got hurt). by the time it was ready to line up, another boy started to. thank God the bell rung - spring break here we come.
