Family Day

So when you get to pre-K, you get to have family day.  I decided to have mine a few weeks ago, and since Yiayia and Papou are here, we got them in the mix.  I was pretty excited to have my whole family come to my classroom for a day!

Let's see, we kicked things off some egg dying.  We died them red because that's what we do for Greek Easter.  Then while they dried we took my whole class to the rock gym!  We had so much fun, everyone climbed and had a turn on the swing, then my mom impressed the class by climbing all the way to the top of the wall.  I was proud of her :)

We all got to have lunch together (my mom really loved the sun butter sandwiches and carrot "fries").  Then we did the Greek tradition of "bumping" our red eggs.  The person who ends up with an un-cracked egg gets good luck!  Everyone had fun with it (except I did have one friend who got pretty upset b/c his egg cracked and he thought he'd have bad luck for a year... I had to let him know that's not how it works!)

 

Anyway, we finished it up with a little Greek lesson from my papou - we all learned how to count, say the alphabet and of course the infamous "Opa!"
