CRAZY SOCKS!

Today Hollyn had Crazy Sock Day at school. She was so excited to wear crazy socks to school and I think the teachers know what they are doing when they schedule the school spirit days on early release day. I'm pretty sure crazy socks equal crazy kids. I was actually really excited to pick up Hollyn early from school and spend the afternoon with her. A friend and I panned a day of swimming and pizza. It's amazing how much pent up energy these little guys have after a day or even just an afternoon at school. Their little bodies are like Mexican Jumping Beans sitting at their tables just waiting for a chance to jump out of their seats. Kindergarten teachers are saints in my book.
Look at those bruises. Now that's one active kid. I think she got her balance and grace from her mom. For some reasons my legs always look like a five year old with bruises all over. Too bad it's not very attractive on a 30 year old woman.
I was also able to go to Hollyn's classroom last night for Curriculum Night. I know it may sound dorky but I love me some Curriculum Night. I remember when I was teaching school I always had a poor turn out for this night. Granted I was teaching sixth graders, but I never understood why parents wouldn't want to come and hear my discipline techniques, the curriculum for the year, and then be able to ask any questions. Hollyn's teacher is fantastic and I'm not sure how she does it all. She has a website where we will go and download their homework for the month, find fun websites for the kids to go to, site words, recipes, and tons of fun activities to work on at home to help kids practice what they are learning at school. Her teacher also has a Smart Board which is about the coolest computer you have ever seen. It looks like a white board but it projects the computer up on the screen and you can actually touch it to move things and it has special pens you can write on it with. It's pure genius and any teachers dream. Needless to say, I was very impressed by Hollyn's teacher.
