a 1st grade hat parade

 

First grade has been a lot of fun so far…..and a lot of projects :)  This week the kids had a hat parade. Now, if you know Luke, you know that he had GRAND ideas about what he wanted his hat to look like.  Picture exploding rockets, lights, dueling light sabers….just about as over the top as you can get.  Soooo, I told John since I do nightly homework with Luke, this bad boy would be his project.  :)IMG_6028-2

and Luke in his LEGO hat. :) Now, this project was due on a Monday.  By Sunday afternoon John and Luke did not have any hats started.  So, we decided to go with a hat that looked like a LEGO.  After hot gluing the thing together (and it was a sturdy little hat!) we got to school the next day and poor Luke smashed the hat in the car door.  Luckily, his teacher came to the rescue with more hot glue :)  and then he added stickers all over the place. :)  IMG_6034-2

The HEART award

 

Luke received an award at school a few weeks ago.  Of course Momo made it for the big event.  As you can tell from Drew’s lovely expression, it was hot.  But doesn’t Charlotte look cute? :)

and Mr. Shaw getting silly stringed completely trumped his award in his mind.  This was the highlight for Luke :)IMG_5954

Have you ever seen a purple cow?

 

First grade is off to a great start.  One of the first big events was a purple cow party.  The kiddos learned a poem and then celebrated with purple cow floats.
