Anna Kate had so much fun kicking off her last semester of pre-school!  All of the pictures in this post were hand selected for you to see by Anna Kate from 1,000s of images that Mrs. Paula put up for her pre-k students\u2019 parents to view last month.  First up, studying the letter \u201cP\u201d and making pigs in the blanket for lunch one day!<\/p>\n

\"P1230283\"<\/a> \"P1230300\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Learning all about the anatomy of trees!  Anna Kate thinks her tree is the top right tree in the right picture.<\/p>\n

\"P1220246\"<\/a> \"P1220267\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up, the science museum!<\/p>\n

\"P1220260\"<\/a> \"P1220271\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I asked Anna Kate what she was saying in the picture on the right, and she said, \u201cChugga Chugga Choo Choo!\u201d  Sweet girl!<\/p>\n

\"P1220251\"<\/a> \"P1220254\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These pictures are making me miss her long hair!  She loves her bob though, and I do too!  She\u2019s precious!  She wanted everyone to know that the turtle front and center is REAL!  I\u2019m not sure if it was at one point or not, but I promised her that I would tell you guys what she said!<\/p>\n

\"P1220285\"<\/a> \"P1220288\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweet Mommy Kate!<\/p>\n

\"P1220280\"<\/a> \"P1220295\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She told me she knows how to check out super fast!  Next up, was checking out a stuffed penguin.  Our girl was totally interested and all ears! <\/p>\n

\"P1220296\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I first saw this picture, I said, \u201cWhat are you guys doing?\u201d  She said, \u201cWe\u2019re sliding around like the penguins on the wall behind us!!!\u201d  How clever!<\/p>\n

\"P1220298\"<\/a> \"P1220302\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Penguin row!<\/p>\n

\"P1220520\"<\/a> \"P1220514\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate wasn\u2019t there on the days they made the jellyfish and Olivia, but she was sooo excited to show them to you anyway!  She said, \u201cYou might think those are octopus, but nope!  They are jellyfish!!!\u201d  And all kids love Olivia, right!?!  Tomorrow, for Mondays in the Middle, Anna Kate and I are going to fold clothes and watch Charlotte\u2019s Web.  We haven\u2019t watched it since she cried so hard and sincerely when she was 2 because Charlotte died.  I\u2019ll never forget how loudly she wailed during that scene;  I still can\u2019t believe she got it.  She loves Wilber though and has made peace with Charlotte having lots of spider babies, so she\u2019s ready to watch it again (pig talk, right here)!<\/p>\n

\"P1230287\"<\/a> \"P1230308\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More fun art by Anna Kate!<\/p>\n

\"P1220819\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All of this happened in one month at pre-school!?!  Yep!  You should see all of Mrs. Paula\u2019s pictures!  This is only a tiny little piece of what all she does with the kids.  She\u2019s literally super woman!  The last field trip of the month was to the stock show!<\/p>\n

\"P1220825\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate loved telling me all about the baby chicks and cracked eggs!<\/p>\n

\"P1220826\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1220827\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1220830\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1220831\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate was not in the least bit immature about this picture, so you guys don\u2019t be either!  It\u2019s natural, and Anna Kate thinks it\u2019s sweet!<\/p>\n

\"P1220833\"<\/a> \"P1220834\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The big bad rooster is watching you!<\/p>\n

\"P1220835\"<\/a> \"P1220836\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up, learning ALL about milking cows!<\/p>\n

\"P1220841\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate explained to me step by step how everything works to milk the cows!<\/p>\n

\"P1220845\"<\/a> \"Midnight<\/a><\/p>\n

When she saw this picture of the udders and the milk pumping through the tubes and into the jar, she said, \u201cYep!  There it is.  That\u2019s the milk that we drink that\u2019s in our refrigerator.  That\u2019s how it gets here!\u201d  She was so proud!  She also had a LOT to tell me about this horse statue.  She said the horse\u2019s name was Midnight, and he wouldn\u2019t let any cowboy ride him!  Anna Kate is a great listener and doesn\u2019t miss a beat!<\/p>\n

\"P1220848\"<\/a> \"P1220850\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1220860\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She said, \u201cMom, look how much that tractor costs!!!  And I got to ride it!  We all wanted another turn, even I did too, but we had to keep seeing new things.\u201d  Sweet girl!<\/p>\n

\"P1220865\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate\u2019s boot choice: purple, of course!<\/p>\n

\"P1220869\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"P1220852\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1220870\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate loved looking in the stores!<\/p>\n

\"P1220874\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The petting zoo was super fun too!<\/p>\n

\"P1220883\"<\/a> \"P1220885\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate loved taking a turn being the leader!<\/p>\n

\"P1220890\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She giggled so much telling me about the giant metal caterpillar!<\/p>\n

\"P1230311\"<\/a> \"P1220538\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are a couple more crafts that stood out to Anna Kate!  We\u2019re going to attempt them tomorrow!  As you can see, Mrs. Paula and Mrs. Julie rock it out with their pre-school program.  I am in awe of all they do (they feed the kids breakfast, lunch and snacks every day too).  These pictures truly are such a blessing to my heart to get to be a part of Anna Kate\u2019s experiences at school.  Time is so short!  My second baby will be in school next year for the rest of her life (it seems).  It\u2019s amazing we get to take a peek into her blissful days just discovering and being a kid (and learning more than we could have ever hoped for) during her years in pre-school.  God bless, Mrs. Paula and Mrs. Julie!  My cup overflows that Anna Kate has had such a blast learning and thriving at school!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
