Baby Chicks!, originally uploaded by cheryl.
Friday afternoon parents were invited to Connor's school for a "Chick Party" with the class. With Daddy off from work, he was in charge of getting the twins to and from school so that I could catch a nap before work and then head off to Connor's party at the end of the school day.
Connor's kindergarten teacher - Ms. W - has been teaching a life cycle segment at school that involved watching eggs develop into baby chicks. Connor has talked about the project non-stop at home, and the class was beyond excited at the party. It was one of those moments where you truly admire the teachers for what they do every single day in the classroom with twenty-some hyperactive children.
There was cake and punch. The kids got to show off their baby chick project folders and work. And everyone got to gently touch the chicks in their boxes under the heat lamps. The kids couldn't wait for that last part. There was also a silly chick story and also some class singing and dancing at the end.
I had a couple of cute class photos of the singing and dancing part, but of course that privacy waiver you sign at the beginning of the school year prevents me from posting any of those. I included a few of Connor and one of his teacher with the cake.
It was a fun day.
