Preschool Highlights

Cooper has thoroughly enjoyed preschool this year in Mrs. Kruse's class.  She is an absolutely wonderful teacher!!  He has learned so much this year.  He is beginning to read, and can do simple math.  He is coming out of his shy shell and is spunky and excited to learn.  His favorite little friend in school is Hunter.  Here are some fun highlights about preschool this school year:

At Thanksgivingtime, Cooper's class put on a Thanksgiving performance of songs and rhymes on stage for all the parents at their Thanksgiving Feast.  Cooper was not one bit frightened this time around.  He stood up on stage proud as ever with his head high, and he sung those songs!  It was an honor to join him for that Thanksgiving feast!

On Cooper's snack day, the kids were learning about dinosaurs.  Soooo, we searched pinterest for a fun dinosaur snack to go along with the theme.  We found one!  It was made out of a watermelon, carved to look like a T-Rex's jaw with spiky teeth.  That was a lot of fun!

Cooper's school has "Daddy's Night" which they kids and dads seemed to have loved!!!!  They got to go together all by themselves, and they had an enjoyable time together. I'm grateful that Nate can work around his work schedule so he could do this with Cooper!!

Cooper's Valentine Party at school was a fun event that I got to help out with!  I helped to make a healthy valentines snack of heart shaped ham and cheese sandwiches.  We let the kids cut a heart out of the cheese by themselves to add to their ham and cheese sandwiches.  I cut carrots into heart shapes, and we had pretzels that were kind of heart shaped as well.  They made candy necklaces, played Valentine's Bingo, and read a Curious George Valentine's story.  Cooper got to write out valentines for each of the kids in his class.
