In preparation for Back to School, all three of my kiddos got haircuts. We’ve been to different Arlington establishments, but this time I took all three to the Hair Cuttery. My girl was thrilled to go to a “real” salon and especially loved getting her hair washed and using the bubble dryer. I was...
Yesterday I got to attend Sam’s class fieldtrip. This was no small feat as his class seems to be full of super-involved parents, making it hard for a slacker mom like me to get an opportunity 🙂 Their kindergarten class has been studying currency and learning about the different coins and their values, so...
I’ve missed chronicling a couple of activities this February, so now I’m playing catch-up. In early February, we attended the kids’ school’s Sock Hop Dance. This is usually held in January but was delayed due to a snowstorm. The kids are encouraged to dress-up in 50s attire. We had an outfit for Wendy. Sam...

On Tuesday morning, parents were invited to the classroom to attend their child’s publishing party. The kids worked on writing a piece which was published in the class writing journal.

School is winding down with a burst of activities. One of them was the Kindergarten Picnic, held on Monday. This was a lot of fun for the kids. Also fun for the grown-ups as it was a chance to see everyone before school let out. Each class made special shirts — Wendy’s class had...
This week marks Wendy’s last week as a kindergartner. To prepare the students for first grade, they got to visit a real live first grade classroom. Wendy was beyond excited to see her neighborhood friend H. in the class. The kindergartners got paired up with a 1st grade buddy, who showed them around the...
Wendy, my kindergartner, is a lunch bringer. Her Dad packs her lunches most mornings, something I am eternally thankful for. But she began to complain that she wanted a chance to buy her lunch at school occasionally, so we worked out a deal. If she did a good job eating her lunch Mon –...
I got to join Wendy’s class on a field trip today. They have been studying money, learning about coins, their values and whose picture is on them. So the fieldtrip involved going down to DC and seeing the monuments for various presidents. I was so glad to be able to join the kids, thanks...
