Strawberry Farm

We spent a beautiful day at a local strawberry farm picking to our hearts' desire.  Our buckets and our tummies were full!  It wasn't hard to find plenty of red ripe strawberries as we walked the rows which went on for acres.  We all agreed that coming back next year is a must.

100 Days of School

April 5 was 100 days of school for Perry Pre K.  We did a lot of counting, making beaded necklaces and counting the olives on our pizza. The day was festive with balloons and streamers and just a day of fun.  It has gone by fast !  Our 100 days of school worm is finally complete.

Ye Haw Saddle Up !

The Rodeo is in town!  Houston is known for its annual livestock show and going yearly is a thrill.  The day was spent petting animals, seeing the baby animals, riding rides, eating weird food and enjoying a beautiful day with our family and friends.  Our little cowpokes had a great day, and we are looking forward to going again next year.

The Love Bug

For all four of our students, this year was their official first valentine party activity.  We were graciously invited to North Wood Baptist Church where Mrs.Christy attends and were able to participate in a valentine exchange with the preschoolers of their congregation.  The students were able to decorate a shoe box and create valentines with markers, crayons, stickers, etc.  It was a great day of art and hearts!  The church served lunch and friendly fellowship with our parents and students.  They came home eager to open each card received and anxious to eat the treats attached.  Thank you North Wood for allowing us to be a part of your valentine celebration.

Santa Comes in Small packages

Santa was scheduled to visit our class for Christmas, but he got an early holiday flu bug. So the students decided they would just create the event themselves.  With a precious costume donated by Renae Christy, each child was able to dress up as Santa and pay their tributes to our Savior.  They had a great time and they gave thanks to the risen Christ as they viewed the nativity scene reminding them of His humble birth.  Thank you Mrs.Christy for the Santa Suit!  It is my understanding that grown up Santa recovered from his illness and was able to make all his deliveries on time !

Zoo Boo

Field trips are always more fun if you get to dress up!  The animals really liked our costumes too.  Going to the zoo in the fall was wonderful.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.  It was fun spending the day outside with friends and the kids.  There were many interesting animals.  The kids enjoyed the Halloween games the zoo had to offer and being able to run around and climb on stuff and most of all - Ride In The Wagon!  They really loved the wagon.  By the end of the day we all were tired and ready to prop up our feet.  A special thanks to Lydia for helping with the kids and being our adopted grandma and thanks to Shelley, Kenneth, Ken my husband and Brenda for the wonderful fellowship.

John John says Good Bye

One of our classmates leaves us.  He and his family moved to Washington State because of a job opportunity.We will greatly miss him.  He brought a lot of life and fun to our class.  John Kindler III is also our cousin and grandson, so the departure is more dear to our heart. We pray every day that he will find a great school in Washington.  He was a wonderful student, and it was a privilege for me to be able to have the time with him to teach him.  This special time created a new and cherished relationship between he and I and between he and his cousins that would not have existed had it not been for the time spent in the school.  John John, we love you and miss you everyday.
