Volunteering

Saturday we spent 3 hours at the hospital volunteering for national drug take back day.  We had some police officers and DEA agents there to help us accept, bag up and take away to be burn over 400 pounds of drugs!  Our family is going to try and make volunteering a monthly event - so now we are on the look out for something we can do in October. 

Saturday night was game night, we played Scooby Doo trouble and Dexter won!

Frying Pan Park

Today I went on my first Kindergarten field trip.  There are only 4 kindergartners at school, me, my best buddy Brett, my best friend Edward, and Leah (she is not my best anything yet, but she is good at coloring).  We got to milk a pretend cow, learn about dairy farms, see lots of animals, play on a playground and have a picnic lunch.  It was tons of fun, especially since Mommy was the parent chaperon!  Every month we get to go on a field trip, and I hope they are all as fun as the Frying Fan park!

Kindergarten rocks!

This is what Dexter said he has learned through his first 3 weeks of Kindergarten:

"I am doing a lot of stuff, I did work, I played games. I did math work and language work, like sounding out words and stuff.  I was doing chains (math multiples), I was doing lots of fun work.  I have learned about Johnny Appleseed and I made a Johnny Appleseed hat.  I was listening to my teachers.  I like all my extra classes like Yoga.  We went outside to play everyday, we have 3 playgrounds. I have learned new songs as well about bumble bees and turtles. "

Here is Dexter and his new Johnny Appleseed hat, an upside down pot with apples.    Dexter also learned that he died from a cold and that he had no shoes or house.

Party Weekend

 Saturday was spent at Chuck E.Cheese at Edward's 5th birthday party.  Edward, Dexter and Brett are the 3 Kindergarten boys at school and are all best friends

Sunday the school had it's fall festival back to school party complete with bouncy houses, a magician and lots of yummy food and ice cream. 

But now it is Monday and it back to normal!

Kindergarten!

Don't make me leave my LEGO at home and return to school!!  This last week at home with Grandfather was so fun it is hard to return to school.  I am still at Montessori of Gainesville, so that part has not changed but now I am the big kindergartener in the class and will be asked to help the smaller kids learn the routines and lessons during the morning and then in the afternoon I will meet up with the other Kindergarteners (Leah, Brett, Edward and me) to work on more advanced work.
