Hey Y'all!
Did you know Kansas turned
150 years old on January 29th?
At school, we had six KS day centers.
*quilting with mom
*sunflower state snack
(cupcake in the middle,
twinkies for the petals)
*color a Jayhawk
(no finished product, sorry)
*making butter in baby food jars
(You can't see them, but the kids
are shaking the jars while she talks)
*write Kansas facts into a booklet
*storytelling with my Grandma Schrag
about Kansas past
(See Gracie sitting in front of her?
You should have seen her face.
Gracie LOVES hearing about family history.)
There was a boy who wanted Mom to stay
after school so he could sew with her.
Cute.
Kids heard about Handy-Upy:
a game Grandma and her siblings
played, where they stood on either side
of a shed/building and threw a ball over
the shed and kept track of how many times
they missed catching it.
Fun.
Surprisingly, not as many kids like
Twinkies as I thought.
Weird.
But, Happy Birthday, Kansas!
We love this state!

I will always remember when KS day is and may never learn when "NE day" is! Looks like you had lots of fun!
You are the coolest teacher! I love that your mom and Grandma came to participate. Can Ella be in your class next year?!
Is that Mrs. Wilson? If it is, she was totally my first grade teacher about 22 years ago!
Yet another reason why Abi loves to be in your class. Looks like lots and lots of fun. You're an awesome teacher!
Aunt Anne always tells great stories! (Well, that whole generation really has some good ones.) I just found your blog - fun! :)
