Kindergarten Show and Tell

Today we hosted a small gathering that we called, "David's Kindergarten Show & Tell." I had the idea at the beginning of the school year, remembering the PTO Open House that we had when I was in elementary school. I don't know if it was more important to David or to me... probably me! I've done a lot of work this year!!!

I used the bar area to display David's
notebooks and some other work.

Language Arts/Reading, Handwriting, Science

Math & some holiday stuff
(note on the Mayflower, it's being bombed
and there's a blue shark in the water)

Folder from Dinosaurs A to Z class at our homeschool co-op
(which I also taught),
Clothespin Stegosaurus and paper Laura the Giganotosaurus

Artwork displayed on the back windows

Other little booklets he made throughout the year

Family looking at his work

I really intended to take more pictures, but I always forget when I'm hosting something. After family looked at the displays, David loudly sang 2 of his Bible verse songs that he's learned this year. He declined to read the book that he had selected. Then we moved out to the front porch where he presented his science demonstrations.

and a volcanic eruption.

(sorry, we were out of red dye)

David was also in charge of serving refreshments and even planned his own menu: mayo & cheese finger sandwiches, Fritos and blue corn chips. The dip was my idea.

Elizabeth was not to be left out!

We had her notebook of coloring pages on display
and her Fun with Numbers book.

Ladybugs in clay

OK - on the top one, I made the head, shaped the body and rolled out the black spots. She assembled & made the legs. She did the bottom one completely on her own.

Elizabeth also took her turn in the limelight by singing 2 different versions of the ABC song very adorably. And she thoroughly soaked in the applause. : )
