strike

Today we wrapped up our week before spring break by field tripping over to one of the local bowling alleys. The kiddos did a great job, especially considering that three of the lanes didn't have numbers. I stepped in for one of my kiddos that was absent today, bowling with her preassigned group and I am proud to say that I won. I was in a lane that had bumpers. I was also beaten by a kinder in the next lane over. So I don't really have much to brag about other than reaching the triple digits (barely). My kiddos are awesome though and kicked some bowling behind.

After bowling we rolled on over to Big Cheese Pizza (think low end Chuckie Cheese) and had our fill of pizza. Or at least, we tried to get the kiddos to eat, but they were so excited about the arcade that they ate a slice and said, "I'm ready to play now!" This means that the mister and I have dinner taken care of, which is nice since we'll be spending the evening packing up to hit to road for a week. 

When we returned to school we had a small going away party for Mrs. S. Today was her last day as our assistant and we wanted to thank her for all that she does for us. So, juice and animal crackers it was. Followed by a little bit of The Land Before Time and some time in the play kitchen. 

All in all it was a fantastic way to spend the day before break. I don't think we would have gotten much learning done one way or the other, so at least we had an agenda. Plus, the kiddos talked about numbers all day - whether subtracting, counting how many pins they had left, figuring out how many quarters were needed to play arcade games, and counting tickets.
