Our morning began in the kitchen as we mixed up all of our Cowboy Stew ingredients. Everyone was able to add an ingredient or mix things together before turning on the crock pot.
To say that today was a world wind of activity would be an understatement. We had a day jam packed with activities that we couldn't fit everything I had planned in! But it was so worth it. The children loved being cowboys and cowgirls for the morning. The trick roper visit was a big hit and so was our lunch. Our morning began in the kitchen as we mixed up all of our Cowboy Stew ingredients. Everyone was able to add an ingredient or mix things together before turning on the crock pot. From there we stopped in the classroom for a potty break and snack before visiting music. Next we headed to the playground to have some piñata fun. We all took turns hitting the piñata and trying to empty it of all the treats inside. (Trying to take pictures of kids swinging a stick, while holding the piñata string, and making sure everyone was at a safe distance was a task!) Our time outside was cut short because the Trick Roper was ready for us. Kevin Fitzpatrick is a World Champion Trick Roper and he put on an exciting demonstration for the children. Many students had an opportunity to participate. We even had a special friend join us for the fun. From there we made a stop at the OK Coral, where we were able to ride some bucking broncos, race some stick horses, and pose for a picture on the saddle. We finally made our way back to our room for a little down time. We had several rodeo/farm themed games ready to explore. We finished our morning with lunch made by the children. Some of us liked it better than others. Some were reluctant to try it but everyone found something to enjoy. The Cowboy Stew was delicious topped with cheese and tortilla chips. We also drank some "Cowboy Coffee" (chocolate milk), enjoyed some fruit salad, and ran out of time so we sent cupcakes home to enjoy with our family. As you can see it was a day chock full of fun. I hope you all enjoy your Fiesta Holiday on Friday. We will resume classes next Wednesday. Thank you all for contributing your ingredient to help make our special lunch.

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
