March: everything is green!! FINALLY!! To me-green means new beginnings; to my Kiddos-green means "Go Faster!!!" (from our transportation theme).
March flew by way to fast but hey, it's getting closer to the end of the school year and we all know what that means-SUMMER!!
During March we celebrated St. Patrick's Day by wearing green and eating green food plus drinking green juice. I was excited to see my Kiddos eat the "green leprechan bread" aka a green (basil and herb tortilla) quesadilla. I encourage my Kiddos to try new things and this was a great opportunity to try something new. And yes, I cooked their lunch in our classroom with my handy griddle. When I cook in our classroom, they say it's their restaurant. The next day we celebrated a birthday and a new season-SPRING!! And yes, for lunch-we tried something new again. We had Russian Rye bread with our main sandwich ingredients-organic peanut butter (so thankful for no peanut allergies) and grape jam. Let's just say that was an experience we will not try again. Russian Rye bread has a strong after-taste that we did not like at all. Along with our "Spring Celebration" meal we had green apple slices, whole grain goldfish crackers and a whole grain whole wheat crackers with cheese. Our drink was unique and had a taste we haven't tasted before. One of the Kiddos brought his favorite juice boxes.
OHHHH-I finally had one of my teacher wishes come true. I am a proud teacher of a deployed soldier's son. I admire soldiers very much and to be honored to be their child's teacher is amazing to me. When I first met the new student, it was like an instant connection and that was before I knew of his father's heroic position. I love hearing stories about what he told his father the night before when they "skyped" and got to see/hear one another. My new Kiddo asked if he could get a picture of me and him so he could send it to his dad to show his dad his new teacher. I was like of course!! I love it!!
Next month is going to be very busy. We start the month with a fun water day then a spring break then diving in learning about Spring, Recycling, and Easter. We love to stay busy as long as our work is fun!

Recently asked a Kiddo to wash her hands after snack and she came back to my classroom with her hair dripping wet. She said "my hair has got dirt in it so it's dirty so I had to wash it." I laughed! She washed her hair again after lunch that day and the next day attempted to wash it 2 more times. She said she loves for her hair to be clean and she likes it to smell good. We have a funny time in our class. Oh to have moments like these on video...
