Sweet Potato Pie !

Last year we placed a yam in a jar of water and it grew long vines and a lot of roots. Before the summer break we planted the potato in our garden in the backyard.  To our surprise the potato grew and grew and grew.  We had read a book about a grandma who did the same and grew a potato as large as a house!  So re-inacting the book our class proceeded to harvest our sweet potato in the same manner as our book characters.  The kids had fun reading the book and digging the fruits of our labor. 

New Year 2012 - 2013

We are off to a great start!  With five eager students Perry Pre K will no doubt have a great year.  Everyone was ready to start learning and being with their classmates.  What a fortunate teacher and grandmother I am to have the privilege of being a part of these precious lives.

 

Prize Bulletin Boards

With these beautiful faces how can these bulletin boards not be prize winning!

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.
