I hope you are enjoying some time doing activities together and maybe even relaxing with a good book or seeing some good movies or having some playdates.
I am enjoying some time in Texas with my daughter. Besides getting a new pair of boots, and eating some incredible Texas BBQ, and going to the Harry Ransom Center, one of the highlights of my trip so far has been going mountain biking through some awesome trails in Austin, home of Lance Armstrong's Mellow Johnnys. Some of these trails brought me through creeks and river beds where I had to maneuver over large boulders. It made me smile because while I was riding the trail I realized I was experiencing a new meaning to "Kindergarten Rocks"!
Later in the week, we then ventured down to South Padre Island where the weather was warm and sunny and a swim in the ocean and long walks on the beach collecting shells were welcomed each day. A quick trip to Matamoras, Mexico was fun as well. The schools there even do car lines!
Before the break, we celebrated Valentines Day and 100 Days of School. Some activities the children enjoyed were: collecting 100 names, sharing their 100 posters, counting 100 hearts and doing 100 jumping jacks. We visited some of the other kindergartens to participate in activities with them as well. We even tried to keep quiet for 100 seconds!
Thanks to all the Moms who came in and organized great Valentine's Day parties.
Upon our return, we will get back into our routine and look forward to Read Across America Week at the beginning of March. More on this to come when we return to school.
Enjoy your time away from school. I know I am!
See you on Feb. 23rd!
"HEADS UP"... For those of you who read this before Monday: for our Monday writing activity
the children are now making "lists". Please help to refresh your child's memory by reviewing some activities they did over the break. They will then choose one to write about. Can't wait to hear all about the fun they had while away from school.
