Family Picnic Pictures

Here are pictures from the family picnic earlier this month.  We got ready for the picnic by decorating visors, and we were so happy that we had a sunny day to wear them!  We also sang songs about picnics, making up our own verses about what we would like to bring.  Overall it was a fun day and a great way to kick off Spring Break!


I tried to get pictures of everyone, but I missed a few families.  I hope you all had a great day!  What a wonderful PK tradition!

Rain, Rain, Go Away . . .

In case of rain tomorrow, we will have our family picnic inside our classroom.  If it's light rain, some families may be able to spread out along the covered sidewalk out front or on the back porch.  We'll squeeze everyone else inside -- either at tables or on blankets on the floor.  

The kids have decorated some cute sun visors, so let's keep our fingers crossed that we'll need them!  I'm hoping our rain pictures on the April calendars didn't jinx us!
