This month has been so exciting! I have been able to experience my first real Mardi Gras (my hometown in California used to throw a small version every year)!
Along with all of the festivities, I have been busy with schoolwork and volunteering.
With Girl Scouts, I was able to attend the Urban League of Greater New Orleans school expo at the Superdome, where we talked with girls and parents about joining the organization. It was a great way to get out into the community and get to know a wide variety of people in the area. I am looking forward to the next GS event I can attend!
At St. Anna's, we created a healthy Mardi Gras snack (no King Cake for us): fruit kabobs! We learned about all of the vitamins we can get from fruits, and then practiced our fruit cutting skills. We used Green honeydew melon, Purple grapes, and Yellow bananas for a healthy and festive snack before the parades.
At ESY, we are continuing to work with letters, learning about Q (quesadillas, quince jelly, and quinoa). It is so great to get to experience new foods through the eyes of kindergarteners!
