William's school is almost out. We have enjoyed a wide variety of special days. The Spring Concert was performed around a flower decorated flag pole and William sang his song about a handsome prince that lived long, long ago.
Later that week we had International Day and William dressed up like Chipper Jones. He had a "passport" and visited table set up by each country represented in the school. We sampled hagas from Scotland, fresh strawberries from Sweden, jellies from Argentina, and sausages & gummie bears from Germany. In order to get the "sweetie" and the passport stamp, the child had to ask the parent a quiz question about their country. William learned kind of money they use in Ireland, what foods came from Italy, what the most popular girl name in Japan is, the colors of the Mexican flag and the national bird of Norway...the Dipper in case you are wondering!
Our most recent school event was Sports Day. William has found a new favorite hero, Sportacus. Sportacus was invented by a Dutchman and is the hero of a place called Lazy Town. Sportacus enjoys sports candy (fruit) and William has really learned about healthy food. In fact, he got a above average mark on his school report saying he displayed "a strong understanding of the importance and ways to keep healthy." Check out the DVD series if you have youngsters that are not eating their fruits and veggies! We all enjoy watching the adventures of Sportacus and his nemesis, Robbie Rotten!
