Sam's Schoolwork


Today,  among the papers Samuel brought home from school, was his assignment from G&T.  According to Sam, on the first square his teacher asked the class to pick up a yellow crayon and draw something yellow, so Sam drew a picture of spilled lemonade.  The second square is a cherry for red, and the third square is a picture of the sky for something blue.  On the fourth square, the class was asked to draw something edible and green, so Sam drew an apple.  The final square is supposed to represent something icky, sticky, or gooey, so, of course, Samuel drew snot.  Sam says he is great at coloring!

Sam goes to Open House


     On Thursday, Samuel, Andrew, and I went to the Kindergarten Open House at Lakeside, where we met Sam's new teacher, Ms. Folds.  The very first thing she said to Sam was how excited she was to have him in her class, since she has heard so many wonderful things about him.  Sam was especially excited to see his pal Garrett is in his class, and will be sitting right beside him.  Sam actually said yesterday that the Open House was "his best day ever!"  He is ready for kindergarten!

Sam at the movies

Last week, Samuel & I went to see Cars 2.  He decided to dress himself in head to toe camouflage, and out of all of the great pizza restaurants here, requested CiCi's Pizza for lunch.  Sam says he had a great time at the movies!
