Koop's Special Day

This week has been great for us because both kids were 'special helpers' at school. Bryan was able to go to school with Kennedy yesterday and I was able to go today with Kooper. It's such a treat to see your child in the classroom. You get a sense of the structure and see how they interact with their classmates and teachers. Since Kooper just started threeschool a month ago I was very excited to see what he does for the 2hrs. he's apart from me. He has been super excited about school since his first day and now I know why. Here's a glimpse at our morning..

Above he is pictured with his teachers Mrs. Scholten and Mrs. Dykstra.
One of their first chores is to put a sticker on their name card.
Here Kooper is trying to find his name.
Found it!
Time to put the sticker on his fish.
Today each child brought in some fruit so that we could later enjoy a delicious fruit salad during snack time.
Kooper loves grapes and took them to add to the salad.
Since Kooper was the special helper he got to help Mrs. Scholten with the music player letting the kids know it's time to clean up and get ready for circle time. They get a little playtime while everyone is getting there.

Sitting in the 'special' rocker with the 'special' teddy as they get ready for circle time.

Enjoying circle time.

I was amazed at how well 15- 3 year old's sat and listened as Mrs. Scholten talked.

I help with 2 and 3 year old's at church and know this isn't an easy to do.

Sharing with the class what the weather was like today.

Cold and snowy!!

He did slap some sunglasses on weather bear as we were hopeful to see the sun today.

Praise God it did shine as we were on our way home. :)

Story time..

Snack time..

Enjoying a very yummy and healthy fruit salad.

After our snack we had a little more playtime..

Playing with some of his classmates..

Next came project time.

Today's lesson was centered on health.

The kids were coloring on some teeth like bottle bottoms with chalk and then brushing them clean with a toothbrush. Lot's of fun!

Another tooth activity..

Painting a brown tooth white.

Playing a game where you push down the teeth of a crocodile and when you hit a certain tooth the mouth closes on your finger. All the kiddos enjoyed this.

Lots of smiles and giggles when the mouth surprised them by closing.

Time to sing the good- bye song as our day was about done.

Sitting ever so sweetly waiting to be dismissed..

As you can see we had a very busy, yet super fun, day!!

I'm so thankful that I was able to share a special morning with Koop. I'm also thankful that he loves school so much and I pray that it continues throughout the years.
