School Days

I think I have been over at the school more than I have been at work lately.  Here are some of the fun things we have been doing:

Talent Show

Rachael danced to Swan Lake.  She made up most of her own dance moves.  I don't have the video posted anywhere yet - I'll try to put it on YouTube later.

With her friends - Savannah, Rachael, Madi, and Cassidy.

Horse Farm Field Trip

This was a fun field trip, just a few days before the Derby.  The kids had a great time. It rained cats and dogs that day (like almost every day lately!) but we spent the whole time in the barn so we didn't get too wet.

One of the girls in the class, Claira Beth, has been riding horses here since she was two years old.  She rode Flash - the horse in the background - through the Poles and around the Barrels.  Fun to watch!

Rachael got a chance to sit on Flash, too.  Not all the kids wanted a turn, but she jumped right up.  We also got to watch a furrier shoe a horse, and we learned lots of new terms about horses.  (Did you know the girls are called fillies?)

Derby Race

The kindergarten kids made their own horses and the girls got to make their hats, too.  Then they went outside and raced their horses!

She came in 15th of 16 competitors... but she's #1 in fashion. She was the only one in a dress. You have to go with your strengths.  (She insisted that was what she wanted that morning - who am I to argue).

We are looking forward to Kindergarten Graduation in just a few weeks!
