Field Trip, Fun Fair, and Field Day...Oh My!

Benson has been busy at school this past week. Last Friday, the kindergartners went on a Field Trip to the zoo. Jillian and I joined Benson on the field trip and had a lot of fun.


Then on Saturday was the school carnival, which they call the Family Fun Fair. The kid's all really enjoyed this and were really worn out by the time we got home and then were quite grouchy all afternoon.


Monday was Field Day. The girls and I were able to watch Benson participate in a few events before we had to leave for Grace and Sabrina's last ballet class. When we asked Benson how the rest of Field Day was after school he said, "Awesome!"

And here is a picture of his 3-D Model of the Life Cycle of a Butterfly

The brown circle is the egg, the caterpillar is the green and blue thing on the bottom, the chyrsalis is the cotton ball hanging on the left, and of course the butterfly (the wings are made out of coffee filters, a fact that he includes in his description EVERY time). He was really excited to make this and to watch the Painted Lady caterpillars that his class had turn into butterflies.

Now that all the excitement is over, who knows what they will do for the next 3 weeks! Whatever they do I'm sure it will go by quickly...we are all so exicted for summer break!
