Fun Fridays

Since kids love to do fun and interesting things, I try to make our school days even more fun by doing things where we can be a little silly. This year I decided to do a "Fun Friday" where every Friday we do something fun and silly.  It's only our second week of school, but so far the kids are loving it and we're having fun thinking of fun things to do each week.

Our first Fun Friday was show and tell. The kids were reviewing the "e" and "i" sounds, so I decided to do a show and tell where the kids had to bring in something with the "e" or "i" sound.  Now, being that it's only me and the two kids, show and tell is really funny! My kids act like they are in front of 100 other people!  They smile and hide their show and tell item behind their back until I ask them what they brought in today.  Then they hold up their item and wait for me to ask them questions!  It's so cute and so funny!!!

So for show and tell, Minnie (me) brought in a picture that she drew. She then told the class what it was a picture of (which we already knew) and also stressed the "i" sound of her item. Super Boy brought in his Finn McMissile car from Cars 2.  He told the "class" that Finn is a secret agent and then showed us all the "shooters" the car had.  After each child talks about his show and tell, the whole class claps and cheers them on!

Today was our second Fun Friday. We did mis-matched socks! It was a hit! The kids picked whatever socks they wanted, as long as they didn't match. It was so funny to see them tell me to look at their feet...which had two different socks on them.

I am looking forward to more Fun Fridays!!!
