Amazing how we're already in April! Time seems to be racing! Well...sometimes it's on sloooow mode!
Last week the munchkins had a family project due during the week and surprisingly they all turned it in! Some parents are actually getting a little more creative! ~It's about time!! The only reason I think they all did one was because their child wouldn't be able to participate in the Easter Egg Hunt without it. Haha! They were to create their own Easter basket and the only rule was, it could not be store bought. They all did a great job! The three best baskets were given prizes and that was a plus for them to complete the project as well.
The winds were crazy during the week and we were worried it would ruin our egg hunt but luckily we scheduled it Thursday morning before the winds blew in. The munchkins were super excited for their egg hunt and it was the perfect carrot to dangle over them during the week if they didn't behave. ~Yes, I enjoyed dangling that carrot! I even had my new munchkins step-mom call to ask ~Is it true they won't have their egg hunt because they didn't behave because someone, how do I say, passed gas on the rug? ~What?!!! I almost died laughing! ~No they don't get in trouble for FARTING! I didn't say that but told her ~If they don't behave, yes, they will not be participating in the egg hunt. Then she started to tell me that there is something wrong with him, that he's not all there, used the term weird, and that his father is in denial. Hello?! ~I think you're weird!!! The term parent or step parent shouldn't be given out so freely. Just because they're labeled "parent" doesn't mean they are parents or know how to parent. She might be like Cinderella's step-mom! Eeek!!
Back to the fun stuff!...The Egg Hunt!
Each munchkin had to bring 12 eggs filled with wrapped candies and our volunteers hid them the morning of our hunt. The volunteers did a great job hiding them in the two jungle gym areas we have. I'm the loud mouth of the group, why I'm not sure, because I was always really shy! heehee! On my count all Kinder munchkins took off running and scurrying to get as many as they could. They were thrilled and yes we had a few tumbles and rolls! Eggs everywhere! It was such a sweet sight to see them so excited and looking through their goodies. They were dying to open and eat it!! Since we did the hunt early in the morning I now got to dangle their filled baskets in front of them during the rest of the day! ~Ahahaha! I know, I know...mean teacher! It worked though! They were little angels! Haha!
From here on out there aren't anymore breaks in the year. ~Drag!! Unless I take one myself and make it a long weekend down the line. Which I just might! ~Shhhhh no telling!!!
TAKS testing is coming up and I'll be pulled from my munchkins to test some students! Yikes!! Sad thing is Kinder will start their assessments also after TAKS. ~More testing...YUCK! We still have a lot of work to do and push these babies to be ready for 1st Grade. I haven't heard if I'll loop up to 1st with these munchkins or not so until then we still have a few adventures left! Stay tuned!
XOXO's
