Presentations and the Flea Market

This is the Gaga Pit. Ashton loves this game. You cannot touch the ball with your feet or legs. You hit the ball with your hand and try to get another person out by hitting them with the ball in the legs.
Ashton did his presentation today in front of his whole class. WOW! He has made leaps and bounds. He would have NEVER done that at the beginning of this year. He mentioned the Gaga Pit as one of his favorite memories in Kindergarten along with, Fridays because we get to go home early :) (well Sierra does!), computer time, the Pumpkin Patch because he got to take home a pumpkin, the Gentle Barn, going to the Getty and his favorite part of the Getty was sitting under the pink flowers. Good Job buddy!
Daddy even came, that was special! Mommy is always at school but not Daddy! :)

and then we went to the Flea Market. All the kids in 4th grade had to take out a loan from their parents and will pay it back with interest. Then with that money they had to buy supplies from their teachers. Make a product and today they sold their product. Sierra's group made headbands and were one of the first groups to sell out. They made enough to pay back their loan and they made a profit. What a great experience for these kids to learn this concept at such a young age.

Kooky Kids was their shops name so they dressed Kooky. I think they look pretty cute! :)
