Bubble Day and Extra Fun!

Madeleine's Kindergarten Alphabet Countdown continued yesterday, with B(ubble) Day:

Madeleine was thrilled to receive a brand new bottle of bubbles from her kindergarten teacher.  But that's not all she was thrilled about.  Sounds like it was a school day FULL of fun.


MADELEINE: (upon being dismissed from school) Mama!  Can I tell you ALL the exciting things?
ME: Sure!
MADELEINE: Okay.  So.  We watched "The Lion King," it was Bubble Day, it was PIZZA day at lunch, we had P.E., AND we had a guest teacher at P.E. because our usual teacher had her BABY!!
ME: Woah!  That sounds super fun!  Do you want to tell Julia about all the exciting things?
MADELEINE: Mmm, Mama, YOU tell her, because there were just SO many exciting things, I don't feel like saying them all again.

After watching "The Lion King," Madeleine's class filled out a worksheet about predators, as they have been learning about the animals of the African savannah.

Madeleine got to draw a picture of her favorite predator from Africa and fill in some blanks:

Write the three predators that we learned about below.

1.cheetah  2.loin  3.hiyena

Apparently Madeleine's favorite predator is the hiyeana, at least according to her drawing.  I'm surprised it's not the loin, especially seeing as she LOVES the movie "The Loin King," and was delighted about sleeping in her Simba bed in our Loin King suite last week. I wonder how much MORE excited she would have been to sleep in a hiyeana bed?!?

Today we are on to C(razy Hair Day) and Madeleine got to wear a bunch of pigtails to school:

It's kind of an extra crazy spin on her favorite hairstyle, which she calls "bunny ears" (two high pigtails at the top of her head.)  Maybe in honor of her new favorite animal, she can call this four-pigtailed hairstyle "hiyeana ears."
