On Friday, February 13th Bennett had his 100th Day of School. This was also the day of their Valentine party. To celebrate the 100th day the kids in his class were all supposed to create and wear a shirt with 100 of something on it. I looked on Pinterest to get some ideas and this was the one that Bennett picked. This was fine with me cause it was the easiest of all the ideas I found! I usually just drop him off at the door and he goes into school by himself but on this day I took him in cause we put the shirt on in the hallway - I didn't want any of the Band-Aids to stick to his jacket. In doing so, I got to see some of the other kids shirts - 100 pennies taped to the shirt (this I heard didn't do so well and all day pennies were falling off), 100 drawn hearts, 100 Lego's were sewed on (this also didn't make it the whole day), 100 painted thumbprints, 100 sets of dinosaur feet dipped in paint, a monster head drawn on the shirt and 100 wiggly eyes glued on, and more that I can't remember.
Bennett is doing great in Kindergarten. He's been busy learning to read and write and he seems to be picking it up pretty well. His handwriting has drastically improved during these 100 days. And he's doing a pretty decent job at reading. He's learned about 50 sight words and is reading sentences with about 8 words in his reading books from school. It's pretty awesome watching the reading process. In math right now he's learning some simple addition, how to tell time and how to read money. The one thing that I think he could work on is drawing! I have to ask him what everything is that he draws cause a dog looks like a cow, a cat, a lion etc....a head, body and legs. And a smiley face could be him, myself, Ashley etc. No details on anything.
I can't believe he only has be 3 more months of Kindergarten. My baby.......sigh.
