So this precious baby was born this week!
Grandbaby #10! Ashland Leigh is Lee's first baby!
I am SOOOOOO in love!
They live in Baraboo it is not that far to go to get in some snuggles!
Before that wonderful event happened we spent the weekend backpacking near Schroeder MN.
Mile 190 is just a smidge away from accomplishing!
We also had some time on the shores of the Lake.
Ugh...this set us back about 4 hours, though.
All is well though and I now have 4 brand new tires.
Merry Christmas to me?
Back at school...
Monday brought new Morning Challenges:
Apple Beginning Sound Match Up...
Apple Shape Review...
Apple Numeric Order...
This Marvelous Munchkin brought us MMMMarshmallows and M&M Cookies for our Mm snack!
We are part of an ABC Across America penpal project.
We created 26 Mm for Moose to send to 25 other kindergarten classes across the country.
We then are receiving the rest of the letters in the mail from them!
How exciting!
Monday was also Mm for Mustache day!
I love how the leader wore his mustache for most of the morning!
Here the k kids are opening some of the letters we received from other Kindergarten classes (see above)
We are keeping track of where they come from with this handy map. The letters are posted in the hallway for everyone to enjoy!
Our Science Table is growing!
We will be accepting donations through October.
Pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn are all great ideas!
On Monday we thought like a scientist and labeled the parts of an apple...
We also went home wearing these Marvelous Moose Hats from Moose Jaw in Wisconsin Dells
(my son, the new daddy, is the evening kitchen manager. Thanks, Lee, for donating them!)
On Tuesday this nifty kid brought Nilla Wafers for our Nn treat!
On Monday we painted these monsters for our Mm book

Making (and eating!) an apple pie!
The kids had to follow the recipe.
My favorite part is watching them figure out the whipped cream~haha!
