Pet Show

During the month of November we are focused on things for which we are thankful.  Although we try to maintain and "attitude of gratitude" all year, it doesn't hurt to do some serious blessing counting at this special time of year! Last week we were feeling thankful for our warm, cozy homes.  This week we are thankful for our families- specifically, our furry, finned and feathered friends, our pets!  It is apparent to anyone who gets to pray with us in the mornings, that our pets and other animals are important to us. They are often added to our prayer list; sometimes there are more pets on the list than people! 

Today we celebrated our pets with the 4th Annual SDS Pet Show.  We started our day with reading Ezra Jack Keats' book Pet Show. Then we kicked off the event with a celebrity guest, Mr. Curt and Maggie.  Each pet was shown, followed by a time of question and answer.  I love to hear the children share about their pets.  This is such a good way to get them engaged in conversation, not to mention the endless opportunities for vocabulary development!

Maggie won first place for most fashionable!

Belle won for best tricks.

We were treated to a pet parade by our sweet 3s!

They were the best audience for our show.

Isabelle won first place for most spots.

Dixie won first place for most friendly.

Nemo won first place for best swimmer.

Benji won first place for most quiet.

Cody won first place for best curls.

Luke won first place for most excited.

Pinky Pony won first place for best sparkles.

The snake won first place for most slithery.

Gus won first place for best flips.

Goldie won first place for the brightest color.

 Paisley won first place for best hunting dog.  

Mae won first place for longest dog.

This was another great day at preschool.  Our room was a buzz for days preceding this event, and will be for days to come, I am sure.  Can't wait to get together on Monday and write about our experiences at the Pet Show.  Thank you to all who came and made the event possible.
