Field Trip to Deanna Rose

Emma's Kindergarten class went on a field trip to Deanna Rose Farmstead and it was dampered a little bit by the pouring rain! We had a lot of fun visiting the old school, learning about cows and the native American Indians. The class took a quiz and it was cute when 75% of them guessed that chocolate milk came from brown cows!
Emma then had a "scrapbook party" at the school and Emma gave us a scrapbook that she had been working on all year filled with projects and pictures...such a wonderful memory of her first year of school. We were SO THANKFUL for the WONDERFUL teacher that Emma had! She put together a really special video of all the kids. Emma said she didn't want a different teacher even if that meant staying in Kindergarten forever! She learned SO MUCH this year and did so well. She was so proud of herself for getting a "green card" every day of the school year. (The behavior system they follow is a green card for good days, yellow for misbehaving a little and a red for misbehaving a lot.) She gently reminded her teacher the last day that maybe she should get a prize for getting "green" all year, so her teacher put a "prize" together for her which was so special to Emma. Thank you Mrs. Budimlija for making Emma's first year such a great one! We appreciate all you did for her!
