Field Day 2013

The same week Zach has his first play he also had his first field trip to see a play (I wasn't able to go so I don't have any pictures) and that Friday they had field day which I think is their favorite day of the year.  I decided not to volunteer this year so I could go around with Zach's class.  It was fun to get see them get excited about every game they played.


They always start with the pledge and announcements outside.

Zach's class getting a few last minute instructions.

first game..

3rd Grade Play - Rock It

This week Zach got to be in his first play.. it was called Rock it and it was all about science things.  Zach was Sir Isaac Newton - (discovered gravity).  He just had one line but he did that one line well.

It was a pretty short play and afterward we had to hurry up and get him ready for baseball practice.  It was a long day!

Christmas party at school

I took off to go to Zach's school Christmas party today.  This was the first time they allowed more than 2 parents in the classroom (we have a new Principal).  The PTO had cookies and juice for all of them since we can't bring any homemade things since kids can be allergic and they also provided a crafting activity for them.  His teacher also had a few things for them to do.  She had a worksheet for them to work on with a partner where they used all of their math skills to figure out how to help the gifts from the 12 days of Christmas.  Then she had brought a bag full of trinkets from her house and gave all of them one.  They played the left and right game (where she read a story with left and right and they would move the trinkets as she read).  Zach started out with a lollipop ordainment and ended up with a candy cane.. he was happy.  Finally they did their craft which was a felt design they could color and add a magnet to.  I think all of them had a good time and enjoyed their selfs.

Before we left she took down they Santas that they had did it class.. Here is Zach's.. isn't he cute!

First Day of Second Grade

Today was Zachary's first day of second grade!  My baby is a second grader!  I had to say it twice just so I could believe it!  He was really excited for today.  I had started a new job today so I didn't get to take off like I normally do but that was ok I did get to drop him off and he was ready to get out of the truck and start his day!  He decided on his Texas Rangers shirt and shorts which was fine with me in the 200 degree weather we are having.  Tim and him picked out his new backpack and Dzia Dzia was proud to see it yesterday because it is his favorite team.  Zach loves anything football and it really doesn't matter what team it is.  In fact the other day while we were at Old Navy we picked up some of their long sleeved football shirts and we got a good mix of teams (Texans, Packers, Colts, & Steelers.. we couldn't find a Dolphins one). 

So as normal I had to get my first day photo..

1st Grade

One reason I like taking his picture in front of the fireplace is you can see how much he has grown over the year..

Hope your kids had a great first day of school too!!
