Obedient flowers

Day two of color week went exceedingly well! Today was BLUE! So naturally I wore a blue floral dress with a royal blue cardigan. The kids LOVE that I get into the colors & I can honestly say I love it too! Something I've really come to learn lately is if you're not having fun, you're probably not doing something you love! I'm loving all the fun I'm having in kindergarten! Yes of course each day is so exhausting, but each day is a blessing to have an opportunity to love on some kids who may not always feel liked!

Not only was today BLUE, but Mrs. McGregor & I were greeted with the sweetest flowers on our desk! These flowers were given by a students mom & they're called "obedient flowers"! The way these flowers got their name is even if the stems are dying & falling over, the purple flower buds will always point upward!  Her note read, "Mrs. McGregor & Miss Jordan, I hope you have an obedient class & a wonderful day today!" How clever and what an awesome way to integrate science (plants) into social studies (authority, rules and personal choices)! So that's just what we did! We used the flowers as a teaching tool. We loved it, the kids loved it, and we had a great day filled with very obedient students...except that one who kept throwing wood chips on the playground...
