Florida Football 2010



Caroline and I went to the first Florida Football Game of 2010. She had fun, but it was a long game and a hot day. Had to share this picture because it is one of my favorites ever!

More Maclay Pictures and Stories

The 2 pre-k3 classes took a field trip together. They got to get on the Maclay School bus and the Driver, Mr. Willie (who was there when Jake and I went to Maclay), drove them all around campus. They saw the "big school" which is the elementary building, the football field, the gym, tennis courts, and the middle and high schools. The teachers said the kids got to practice their bus manners that they had been working on all week.




Nurse Jean, the school nurse, came to pre-k to share her knowledge about spreading germs. She taught the kids to cough into their elbow and the proper way to wash their hands. They learned a hand washing song and it goes like this...

Tops and bottoms, tops and bottoms
In between, in between
All around our hands, all around our hands
Now they're clean, now the're clean. (to the tune of Where is Thumpkin)


Each year the 5th graders get paired up with the pre-k 3 classes as "buddies." They get together every couple of weeks and do puzzles, draw and play games. Caroline's buddy is Paige.



Mrs. Billings, the teachers assistant, was working with Caroline and helping her write the letter C. Caroline's are in red in the picture below. I spoke with Mrs. Billing's that afternoon and she was so impressed on how fast Caroline picked up writing c's. She kept saying such great things about Caroline and how smart she is. When I was talking to her, I could really tell how much they love Caroline!

3 year pictures

Below is the wonderful work of our family photographer, Gjergj Ndoja. He always takes such great photos of Caroline and we asked him to, once again, catch her in action. Her personality really shined during the shoot and she is such a HAM when the camera is around.

Sneak peak pics below. Click on the link at the end of the post to see the rest of her 3 year pics.
