Green Party

Happy St. Patrick's Day was the cry all over the preschool today. We arrived to see a sea of green all over the preschool. Our little ones were busy in the advance class with handwriting with their green attire that looked so pretty. "Hello Mrs. Coghlan" they cried when they saw me come in the door. In the beginner class the teachers and the children were busy in their green garb having morning snack. After snack time and bathroom duty was over it was time to party and we started the day preparing a green leprechan hat to wear the rest of the day. Another craft that was edible we had a blast making was one Miss Coghlan found for us. We took a slice of bread and spread peanut butter all over it, next we put three banana slices arranged to look like a three leaf clover, a pretzel stick was added for the stem and green sugar crystals were sprinkled over the bananas. What a tasty treat the children put together and then ate. When naptime was over we brought out all the green treats for the children to eat. They included: green jello jigglers, green rice crispy treats, green grapes, white cheetos, green cookies, green cupcakes, brownies with green candies on top, and green apple drinks. We had a blast and were throughly green when the day came to an end.

Karate Kid

Our youngest daughter loves Taekwondo, we have the privilege to have her Taekwondo school located next to our preschool. She loves the sport. Six days a week you can find Abigail in class for herself or often helping with the younger students as a Tiger team helper. March 10th she and her dad traveled to Baton Rouge, La. to participate in a National Tournament held there. She competed in the two competitions, forms and sparring. We were excited when she brought home two silver medals. She placed second both in forms and sparring. A year ago we traveled to Bowling Green, KY and she competed for the first time and did not bring home any medals. The next tournament was in Birmingham, AL and she placed first in forms but did not medal in sparring at all. She is getting better with every competition and Saturday March 25 she will be testing for her senior red belt. Way to go Abigail!
