Learning!

I visited Thomas' school today to watch him be the Gold Star Student. The Gold Star Student leads circle time - calendar, the letter/sound of the week, weather, etc. Thomas is apparently picking up what they are doing!

Birthdays

We have had several birthday parties recently. This past weekend was a smaller one, so much more fun! All of the Dads took turns after cake making sure the kids were sufficiently tired out :)

Fruit Break

Thomas' class has fruit break in the mornings. Apparently he loves it!

Advice from Thomas

Don't crash your car into any buildings.

If you come to a bridge, drive over it, not into it.

Watch out for skunks.

This is his advice to me as I leave for work.

Almost every day :)

More from School

They did a family collage and saw their Big Buddies this week (Thomas' class is paired with a 5th grade class, so Thomas sees his Big Buddy Sarah once a week).

Thomas at School

Thomas' teachers send us pictures many days each week to show us what is happening in the classroom. These were some of the pictures from today.

 

1st day of Soccer!

We've all been really looking forward to it for a while. The schedule makes it a fairly early outing, but we were all up for it.  No Goalies, nobody keeping score, lots of super cute kids and friendly parents.  Very fun!

Awwwwww......

We went to Thomas' parent-teacher orientation meeting last night. We heard all about his schedule and what they do all day. They had pictures around the room and we had to figure out which one was our child. Their names were hidden underneath their description. The teachers "interviewed" each child to find out their favorite food, what they enjoyed doing and what they wanted to be when they grew up. If you click on the picture it will enlarge and you can read what he said.

Awwwww........

Busy Busy Busy Busy

We stay on the go! This past Sunday, however, we were just taking it easy. Tom had to go tutor so Thomas and I decided to head to the park to play. We walked to the park, played, got worn out so we headed to the Smoothie Studio for some books and a smoothie.

That boy....

Tom: How about some milk?

Thomas: How about some.....diamond?

Tom: What's a diamond (expecting to hear it is a shape like a square)

Thomas: Well, it's a mineral that's formed under the Earth, and under a volcano and then it gets pushed up and up and then it comes out, and then it is a shiny mineral.

Tom (mouth agape): Ok. Where'd you learn about diamonds?

Thomas: On Dinosaur Train


Guess TV is not so bad after all :)
