the willetts: Colin's Kindergarten Korner: Spring is in the Air

Colin's Spring activities for school have kept us busy busy busy.

In March the Kindergarten team put on a Rodeo Day for the kids and taught a 2 week unit on Texas and the rodeo.

The at home activity was to decorate a cowboy and finish the writing prompt

"If I was a Cowboy I would..."

Cowboy Colin would ride a horse!

This picture doesn't truly show his excitement for the Kindergarten Round-Up, however, it DOES reflect his personality each and every morning.

Pete nor I were able to attend the Kinder Round-Up but our friend and neighbor was able to take a few shots of C during the "barrel racing". After school Colin told us that he accidentally hit Ms. Hlinak with a snake (or a ring or something...I can't remember...OOPS!) during one of the events.

In April, his teacher planned a SPRING, sight word, egg hunt. We had to provide 5 eggs with the letters S-P-R-I-N-G written on them. When he came home, he probably had 12 or 13 eggs instead of the directed 6. :o/

They also finished their study on hibernation and winter with a teddy bear picnic. Everybody brought a bear to school and were "awakened" from hibernating with a class read aloud and small picnic.

To honor and celebrate Earth Day, we rode our bikes to school and enjoyed a complimentary donut breakfast. We bought a new ride along car for Ava and she is IN.LOVE.WITH.IT! Since then, she has been asking "bike?!, bike?!" every time we pass the garage door.

The Flores, Cannons and Willetts all rode together and

Belinda was able to get some action shots of our crew!
