My teacher is Ms Wold. I love her - she's awesome. I have 21 other kids in my class. Hannah is right next door to me with Ms. Leismaki. We can sometimes see each other during class because our classrooms are connected and the wall isn't closed all the way between our classrooms.
We have Spanish every day, so we're learning Espaniol. We alternate between music, art & gym class every day and have technology on Mondays in the computer lab. We're learning a lot every day.
We get on the bus at 8:14 every day. It's a challenge to get out of the house at 8 o'clock like Mom & Dad like to do, but so far, we've done it every day! We're used to taking our time to get to daycare because Sue didn't care when we got there. We've had a couple of rough mornings but we've had some good days, too.
The weekend before school, we went to the lake cabin for what may be our last cabin visit this year. Our whole family was there, so we got to play with our cousins, see aunts, Grandma & Grandpa, play in the dirt, fish & swim. The weather was kind of icky on the day we left, so Mommy painted our faces and we made suncatchers. I made a planet with glow in the dark stars and Hannah made a butterfly.
We did come home a day early so we could go to Ron & Carol's for a party the day before school. We got to see lots of friends and play outside on a really nice day. but, we had to leave kind of early so we could get ready for school the next day.
The whole week before school started was a busy one, too!
The Friday before school, we had eye doctor appointments. We were really good for the doctor and her assistant. We didn't need to get glasses but we did get stickers because we were soo good.
The Wednesday before school was our Open House at Beacon! It was so busy!! WE went to our classrooms to drop off our school supplies (so we didn't have to bring all our supplies on the first day.) and meet our teachers and see our classrooms. We went to mine first, then Hannah's. We each had to do a checklist that helped us get used to our new classroom and write our names down so other kids could see who we are.
We also met some of our other teachers. Mr Reed, the technology teacher was my favorite because he had Lego Robots! We won't get to play with them, though because they're for older kids. He runs a technology club that gets to build Lego Robots. They're SOO COOL! We also met our art teacher, Mr. Kehrer, our music teacher Ms. Scott and our Spanish teacher, Senora Hann. She had lots of books I know, but they were in Spanish. I'm looking forward to learning to read the Hungry Caterpillar and The Giving Tree in Spanish.
The Tuesday before school was our trip to the State Fair. Angie came the night before the fair so she could go with us too. We LOVE the State Fair. We always start out looking at the baby animal barn, then go to the other barns. We spent a lot of time at the Moo booth, though, so we didn't have time to go to chicken, pig, horse or any other barns. But, we got to pet a baby calf, saw them milk cows and spun the moo-lette wheel. We both also got to be in the butter carving contest! It was NOT what I expected. I carved a picture of a smily face in the side of my butter, but other people actually carved their butter into SHAPES! Mommy helped me make my butter into Lightning McQueen and I won 4th place. Mommy helped Hannah make a car out of her butter, and she got 6th place.
We got to ride the Space Needle and go REALLY high to see all around the state fairgrounds. We wanted to go on the Skyride but never got to go on it. We also rode a bunch of rides at the kidway - we flew like superman, drove a racecar, did a funhouse maze and of COURSE we did the slide! We also played basketball, plinko, hockey and lacrosse at the Fan Central, met some RollerGirls (Mommy works with a RollerGirl). We ate LOTS of yummy food - cheese curds, ice cream, a slushy, elephant ear, lemonade. We wanted to go the Rope Course with some Boy Scouts but we weren't QUITE tall enough. They did have a rope bridge that we got to do. It was SO COOL, even though it was kinda scarey.
Our favorite part is always the little farmhands. we checked out an old tractor, fed chickens, drove tractors, planted "seeds", gathered eggs & vegetables, milked a cow (we'd been looking most forward to that all day!) and then got "paid" for all our work on the farm. We bought apples with our "pay". We love apples, so it was worth all the hard work. :-)
The Monday before we went to the fair was the start of our last week at daycare. We had a BIG beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to Sue. She loved them.
Daddy is bummed now that school has started because he says summer is over. We've still been really busy even though school has started.
We're still doing karate on Wednesdays, though we will take a break from that to try gymnastics soon. I only like sparring, so I'm happy to take a break from karate class.
This last weekend, Sunday school started! The Friday before Sunday School, our church had a party so we got to see a lot of our Sunday School Friends again. It was fun to see them, but it was also fun to go to the church party. They had a bouncy house, food, a magician, fish pond and a pirate booty prize game.
The next day, we went to an open house at the fire station. We got to check out the Air Ambulance that flies patients to the hospital. We even got to sit in the pilots seat AND in the back! It was really cool. They had lots of fun stuff there - hoses, fire extinguisher demonstrations, a bouncy house with a SLIDE, the trucks, companion dogs and other things. We couldn't stay long, though because we had to go to the Diva Stud Party! We left right after the helicopter took off and flew away. That was cool!
The Diva Stud Party was awesome! There were more kids than adults, so it was a blast for us! (And, of course, there was lot of yummy FOOD, too!)Mommy & Daddy played volleyball, we got to play on the court, too. We also got to stay for the bonfire and do s'mores. It was such a fun night!
The next day was the first day of Sunday School. We found out that TJ & Penney won't be our teachers, so we're bummed. But, Mommy & Daddy ARE going to be our teachers!
It's been a really busy and fun few weeks. This weekend I'm looking forward to Angie coming! Mommy &Daddy are going on a trip because they've been married for 10 years and Angie is going to come to our house and watch us. I'm going to do WORD PUZZLES with her on Saturday. I can hardly wait! it's going to be so great.
Have a good week!
Noah
