Kindergarten Update

Hi everyone! We're well into February & Melia is doing very well in Kindergarten & loving every minute of it! She just got her 2nd Quarter progress report & it clearly explains itself. Yes, I'm a proud mama!

She loves her classmates & her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Reid. Melia has learned so much & is so proud of herself. She's doing addition & a little subtraction, printing beautifully, also a little cursive (on her own) and of course, a lot of drawing. We just went on a field trip last week to a Vons grocery store & the kids had so much fun. They got to see "behind the scenes" stuff like the freezer (where they keep the ice cream at 10 below!), the produce & behind the meat counter (yuck!). They let them check & bag some groceries, pick there own flower & have it wrapped then we ate lunch & played at the park. By the time we got back into the bus, they were pooped! Here are some photos.

Congratulations to Pittsburgh! Steeler Nation is on a high & going crazy! An exciting game, but definitely could've done without all the frickin' penalties! Melia & I hung out at Lisa's house for the day/game & had a great time. We hope you did as well...whatever you decided to do.

This Wednesday is Melia's first Kindergarten field-trip & of course, she is soooo excited. We're going to Vons to tour the store & learn about what goes on behind those swiveling doors behind the produce & meats. And then off to the park for lunch after that. Yesterday was a movie-thon for me with a record 3 - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Dark Knight (DVD) & New in Town. All very good. I'm off to bed early to start my week off right. Hope you all have a wonderful week! Happy February!
