Prayer Walk 2015

Mola making

 

We learned about & then attempted our own "molas" in all of my elementary Spanish classes this month.  They turned out so cool!  I loved watching the kids work.  Every one had such a different idea of how it would look best.  Their creativity was awesome.

Here's Rebecca's in process...

 & complete.

Such a fun project!

Class parties

This year the big kids are split for class parties.  So, first we went skating with the K-2 kids & had a blast! 

 Rebecca had a good time both skating & creating little puppets with her friends.

 They had to take turns shuttling all the kids with the bus, so we decided to head back to school & catch the end of Andrew's class party, too. 

 Ghost bowling, pumpkin races, making spiders out of suckers, & minion creating

It is semi-impossible to get that kid to take a normal picture anymore!  :P  Glad we went to both celebrations.  Teresa was LOVING it!  Sarah wanted a nap.  

While the kids are away, the moms will play

 For the last few years our principal has caught the first day of school stragglers in the hallway after dropoff & invited them in for donuts in the library.  Great way to calm some of those leaving-your-child-for-the-first-time jitters.  But it was always rather small & random.  So, our moms' group took up the task this year of advertising it as a Back to School Kickoff & provided donuts, bagels, & juice for any parents (& littles) that were interested.  We had a huge turnout!  I bet there were a good 60 or so people there.  Both Kleenex & party hats were also provided.  :)  Lots of fun!

 A few of the members of the class of 2030 that were there!

 After partying it up with the moms for a while & running home to accomplish a little for the day, it was already time to be back for Mass with all the school kids.  Before I knew it, they were running out the door!

 Home for a kid-picked lunch menu:

donuts, clementines, cucumbers, & orange juice

Happy 1st Day!
