Mother's Day at kindergarten

Yesterday I ducked out of work early to spend the afternoon with Tirzah and her class. The students had prepared some special activities for all their mothers.

We played a game together.

R2D sang a song about mothers and quoted their weekly Bible verse.

 Then Tirzah selected some nice snacks for me to enjoy.

She painted a beautiful card and decorated a pencil holder.

Thank you, Tirzah, for making me feel special and loved!

Kindergarten photos from April

We haven't actually seen the new Monsters Inc movie yet, but the kids wanted to pose with the characters anyway.

The last time Jemilla had a haircut, she chopped off 46 cm. This time the change was not quite as drastic, but she now has a side fringe (bangs).

This photo was taken during the elementary swim gala when Jemilla joined her class in a game of skwim. She is in the centre of the photo.

And here is Keegan's class playing the same game. He is wearing a blue shirt and has his hand up.

Jemilla shows off what she learned from her rollercoaster project.

This was a joint project between Michael and Jemilla for Chinese class.
