Catch A Wave

Here's the thing about teaching kindergarten. If something out of the ordinary is going on at school on any given day, it's pretty much useless to try to teach curriculum that day. For example, today is wacky beach hair/hat day in celebration of our book fair beach theme. So, we have kids with mohawk waves and shells in their hair and kids wearing hats with beach balls and shells glued to them. And teachers with a combination of all the above. They are all so excited that they can hardly sit still so a phonics or handwriting lesson is pretty much out of the question. So, we did art and read books from the book fair and colored beach pictures. (Which is one of the reasons I love teaching kindergarten. Their attention span closely resembles my own.) All in all, it was a fun day.

It's a good thing, because Thursday is luau dress up day! :)

You need to learn how to add pictures to your posts. We have some great ones! Fun day, tomorrow should be good too!

Sounds like a fun day! My hair was pretty wacky today, too. But that was before I combed it.
