Farm Day!

Today was this year's Farm Day in Kindergarten.  Farm Day is basically a culminating activity that incorporates our unit of "Down on the Farm" and fun activities.  The students (& teachers as you can see from the photo of both Teresa and myself above) dress as farmers and participate in different stations outside.  For example, at one station the students get to "milk" a cow (okay, so it's a fake cow, but it's still cute).  In another station, the students wash clothes using washboards.  

One station had the Piggy Pie Eating Contest.  At that station, 2 students had to eat some whipped cream off a plate without using utensils or their hands.  Teresa and I decided to battle it out ourselves after seeing the students have a blast.

The winner!  Teresa was too dainty.  I was the non-graceful one and dove right in.

One of my students gives me a congratulatory hug afterwards.

On a totally separate note, you may have noticed the lovely buildings in the background.  These are the apartment towers on you'll find on all the Marine Corps bases over here.  Lovely, aren't they?  These are where many of my students live and Noa and I would most likely live if we had chosen to live on base.  But, that was a big NO because you aren't allowed to have dogs in the towers.
