Today was pumpkin day in kindergarten (jersey day throughout the school). The children moved from classroom to classroom learning all about pumpkins. We did art, counted the rings on a pumpkin, guessed the circumference, guessed the weight of a pumpkin, then eventually weighted them.
In between a morning jam packed with recess, music class, computers, lunch, and the dismissal bell we got a lot done today. I'm exhausted just thinking about it and reliving it in my memory. It's great to be apart of the kindergarten class. Those kids are so full of life. They have so many questions and are just excited about everything that comes their way.
As we moved from classroom to classroom I got to experience the personalities of each student. There are the quiet ones, the shy ones, and then there are the ones that my son Hayden seems to gravitate towards.....the loud ones. Don't get me wrong, he's just as loud if not louder than some of them. But we had a really good time. He was so proud to have me in his classroom and then sitting by him during crafts. "Hayden's Mom" was enjoying herself today.
After lunch recess we returned to the classroom for our last craft then a quick last recess (seriously I miss kindergarten) then after another story was read to us, we had a taste test. We got to sample pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, and pumpkin bread! We washed it all down with some juice. I mean, come on! To top it all off their 6 grade buddies came to the classroom and the classroom next door joined us for "It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown." The bell rang and we all were dismissed to go home.
I got to experience first hand all the activity these little guys do on a daily basis and have come to realize just exactly how exhausted my five year old is at the close of the school day. My feet hurt. My tummy was full. I got to play. Have adult conversations. I got to watch a movie. Oh and the best part is we closed our day with two songs (incriminating photos are for the memory books) and a prayer. I had fun in kindergarten today!
Until Next Time, SoCal Marisa
