Captain Consonant
I think my little man is going to be in for a rude awakening when he goes to a normal school next year. His class just had their fourth or fifth party this semester. The theme to this one was "Captain Consonant and the Letter Pirates," and the kids got to wear their pirate garb all day long. It was such a fun way to practice the letters, blends, and sight words they've been working on. I don't remember anything half that cool when I was in school!
The remaining month of school involves: hatching chicks in the classroom, kite day, field day, graduation (a luau theme), and a swimming party. And the boy still complains about going to school. Gimme a break!

Love that idea! He must have a really great teacher to come up with so many ideas . . . or is it part of the curriculum?

I love this photo, particularly Grayson's costume and his expression - brilliant!

I'm amazed that some of them are barefoot. I want to redesign our work environment to match Grayson's school. I could say ARRRRRRRR all day long and carry a parrot on my shoulder, I think.
