End of Last Week

Whew.  A wonderful weekend in the books!  I spent Friday night with some wonderful ladies from my cohort.  It was nice to take time and catch up with them.  Saturday and Sunday were spent with my family at an indoor water park/hotel.  The kids loved it!  It was good to have my entire family in one place.  I am blessed!  I realized that I had lots of thoughts about last week that I never posted here... so, with the help of some photos, here they are:

Farmer's Market Food! 
We have finally used up all of the produce that was purchased during our Farmer's market trip on Halloween.  Parents really stepped up and created dishes for us that were mostly kid-friendly!  One day last week we had rainbow carrots & ranch dressing as well as a really yummy Asian slaw that used up a whole bunch of cabbage.  The kids have been really good about trying things!  Sometimes they hate it and throw it away, but I'm glad that they are trying!

Compliment Cards
One of our morning meetings last week was all about compliments.  We had them play "Compliment Tag" as our greeting and share.  On the morning message, we asked them to choose a notecard that had one of their classmate's names written on it and write a compliment about that person on the card.  I don't think they should always get to choose whom they compliment, but for the first time, it made it easier for some students to do kids that they knew well.  I was really impressed with the nice things that they had to say!  I think that compliments are too few and far between these days.  It warmed my heart to see my students being so kind to one another.  If only we could have them show it in action...

Goodnight!
