Jake's "field trip"

When we dropped Jake off for school this morning I noticed a sign-up sheet for parent volunteers to assist with their nature walk. When? Well today of course. Jake missed school on Wednesday because he was sick so I didn't see it until today. The beauty of vacation Friday is that I am completely available. The only appointment I have on Fridays is a standing breakfast date with my wonderful hubby. So of course I signed right up and returned promptly at 10:00 am for our nature walk to the upper campus. Paper bags and magnified glass in hand we were off for a walk up the ramp to the upper campus. The kids stopped and picked up leaves, rocks, snails, twigs...whatever they could put in their bags, all in preparation for a nature collage. The kids did a great job and it was fun to see Jake interact with his classmates. I had to see for myself what a good kid he is at school just to make sure the teacher wasn't lying to me. ha ha!

Walking back to his classroom

Trying to get a class picture of 2 and 3 year olds is next to impossible
