Campesino!

 Story time festival!!!! Every year the parents put on a play for the kids in pre kinder and kinder for their story time festival. It is a two week period where the school really focuses on reading and the kids finding a real love for reading books. The kids get to bring books to school to share and at the end of the festival the parents put on a play.  It is so much fun, I don't like to act much but they always have dancing parts, so they can always count on me for that! This year we were campesinos, a traditional type dance from peru. I have to say it has been really fun learning some cultural dances from Peru. We danced to a song called mambo de macahuay! It was so fun to see the kids faces when we all come on stage. Zander thought it was so cool!!!!

 Our group of dancers! I did have to learn patience as everyone learns at their own pace! We spent 8 weeks preparing for this rehearsing at night.

My happy little guy, he said it was the best day ever!

La Granja!

 Last week I was able to go with Coopers class on a field trip to the granja, a farm of sorts.  We all pilled in a giant bus and drove about 45 min south to this farm. Cooper was so excited, he just loves animals and is finally loosing his fear to touch them. He is my fraidy cat!! We had a blast and I am sure we will be back for another visit as his brothers were a little jealous.

 Cooper wanted nothing to do with the tour and went straight for the animals. What farm is complete without a llama?

 Class picture!

 They went for a cart ride pulled by a donkey!

 They got to feed the animals.

 Coopers favorite was milking the cow. All I heard the whole way home was, la vaca les da leche!!

 Silly boy would not hold the bunny rabbit.

The only way I got him to hold the guinea pig was to put it in a basket. Silly kid!!

Grandparents Day!

 Every year at the preschool they have grandparents day, and the kids put on a show for all the grandparents, but since we are so far away form everyone we get to go watch!!! This was Coopers first year, and they did a cute dance. Cooper was not too sure about all the people but towards the end he got into the song a bit more. He looks so handsome and grown up!!!

 Dancing with his partner!
