sk's class has an "apple of the week" each week. each student was assigned their week at the beginning of the year & it goes in alphabetical order by first name so sk's week was towards the end of the list (can't believe we are nearing the end of her kindergarten year!) sk's turn was april 6th-10th. on monday she had to take an "all about me" poster board in and present it to the class. she wanted ZERO help with this. so i printed out the pictures she wanted and she taped them to the extremely bright pink poster board that she picked out. she labeled a few pictures but said she was going to just talk about all the others. according to her teacher she enjoyed presenting her poster ALOT. her teacher does an "interview" with the apple of the week and apparently sk asked all morning when she was going to have her "review." ha! they also are allowed to take in a special snack for the class so on tuesday sk took in cinnamon bread elephants that she pretty much made herself! we made these when she was 3 for "Ee" week at pre-k and she was SO thrilled to do it again. and her class knows about sk's love for dumbo so it was certainly an appropriate sk snack;)

at the end of the week, on friday, the apple of the week takes home "weekend monkey" along with weekend monkey's journal. the kids have to take weekend monkey with them wherever they go and then write about it in the journal and document it through pictures as well. so….

sk enjoyed her weekend with WM and certainly enjoyed being apple of the week! i was glad to see that darn monkey go back to school. it's hard to remember to take him with us everywhere. that would probably be like having a 3rd child for me…."wait, where's the baby?!" ha!
