Lion Week

Lion Week had lots of laughs. We went on a “lion hunt” every day! If you are not familiar with the chant, the repetitive line in each stanza is, “I’m not afraid!” At the end, the last line says, “…and we we’re afraid!” Nathan made us giggle, “Um…I’m actually afraid of lions!”

Our Cheetos lions were a great hit. The “yummy glue” was delicious, but sloppy and gooey. While tackling the job of spreading a blob of that fluffy glue around the outside, Eli said, “Ahhh! My lion is MESSED UP!” He was managing as well as anyone. It was just a sticky job and as usual, Eli made it fun for all of us! Oh, we laughed and laughed!  I encouraged the kids to take them home for a lion lunch. While waiting outside, Lily and Jayden inquired together, “Can we put the plate in the dishwasher?” What? No!

One of your fun sheets on Thursday is “messed up”! But we decided the quail could be touted as a “little bird” to correspond with letter L. Check it out. You’ll get it.

Great fun sheets story: While telling the kids the folly of not writing their name on their papers, I said, “Your kindergarten teacher might plunk it right into the garbage.” And I dropped it in a nearby garbage can. A bit later, Clive randomly shouted, “Paper is magic!” What? “Look at the fun sheet right next to you. It floated out of the garbage can…magically!” Clive! Are you magic? “No. Smith is!” Oh, my gosh! I laughed and laughed. Sneaky boys! Smith cracks himself up regularly, along with the rest of us. Too funny!

Ask your child about Hubert the lion. It was a fun story we read each day and finally finished on Thursday. We made a mane for Hubert. Roar!

Don’t forget 26 valentines for the 14th. We hope your child is getting some great name writing practice writing each one!

Have a nice weekend!

Much love and devotion,
