The 100th Day

 Yesterday Anna celebrated her 100th day of Kindergarten!

It's a penguin party!

Anna's class has spent the past couple of months learning a unit on penguins. And wow has she ever enjoyed it! They not only learned about penguins but the different kinds of penguins, their lifestyle and habitats. Show Anna a picture of a penguin and she'll tell you if it's a rockhopper, an emperor, a little blue or even a macaroni penguin!

Here is Anna with "Empy" the penguin

 Her class also made their very own clay penguins!

 A small collection of some of her penguin activities

Penguins even showed up in her journal writing!

Heart Day!

 A belated Valentines Day post......Did we celebrate Valentine's Day? Yes. Did we decorate the house with hundreds of hearts? Yes. Did I remember to take photos and post them to this blog? Um...well...sort of.....

I did take a picture of the Valentine's Anna gave to all her classmates....

And we did take pictures of our heart themed food for Valentine's day!  Heart shaped french toast with strawberry hearts, a heart shaped pizza with heart shaped toppings, and a cherry pie with heart shaped cut outs!

It really was a happy heart day!

The girl behind the mask

This is how Anna walked out of class today! During centre time she made a mask which she proudly told me she stapled all by herself! Anna says it's a queen dressed as a ghoul mask....she then wore her mask all the way home....
