School Days

We've mentioned this before, but Kate's school is very hands on.  And I mean that literally!  They do so many different, fun pieces of art and a lot of them involve handprints and footprints!  This was one thing (among many) that we liked so much about this place, and it's really kind of fun to see all the creative things that you can do with a hand and/or footprint!  They are endless!

A sampling of Kate's art.

More on the fridge...

...And even more in our ever evolving frames.

(This isn't even all that we've received.  And, no, if you are wondering - I have not yet figured out what I am going to do with all of this artwork...)

In addition to hand and footprint art, they also celebrate the seasons and upcoming holidays.  For Halloween, for example, they've been experiencing many October activities and, fortunately, we've gotten a sneak peak at what goes on during the day with these photos that the school provided:

A little pumpkin play!

Touching the stem!

Using it as a seat!

Using it for balance!

Playing with pumpkin guts!

A great sensory exploration!

And dressing up like a mummy!

Gettin' the tp wrap!

Our little mummy!

Annnnd, that lasted all of 2 seconds.

Now it's tear the tp to shreds, I'm sure.

It makes me so happy that Kate gets to participate in all of these fun activities while she is in school.  At the very minimum, I can at least try to convince myself that she is enjoying, exploring, and socializing with peers her own age while I'm sitting at work wishing I was with her.

We are so grateful for Kate's school.
