Literature Festival

The kids have been studying/learning about nursery rhymes the last two weeks. Today not only was early release, the last day of school before Spring Break, but it was also the Literature Festival at school. The kindergarten and first grade classes dressed as their favorite nursery rhyme character and both K classes recited their rhymes for their class and the parents. Emma chose the Three Little Kittens and Henry chose the Queen of Hearts. I finished Henry's on Wednesday and mustered up the energy last night to do Emma's. I've been down with the flu this week, so Daddy has been pulling double duty. And we thought that he would be continuing his extra duties today at the festival. Wednesday and most of yesterday, I felt horrible and was in bed most of the day. So Jason moved around his schedule at work and worked from home yesterday and today. I joined the three of them this morning for the festival, but I kept my distance. I'm so glad that both of us were able to go and the kids were pleasantly surprised that I was able to come.

The lower grades had a Literature Festival today and had a lot of time period appropriate games for the kids to play. All of the games were named after a nursery rhyme. It was a lot of fun and we had wonderful weather and lots of room to run around.
