Fairy Tale Breakfast

Today Isaac's second grade class finished their unit on fairy tales and had a celebration, which parents were invited to attend. It's the last day of school before the break so they didn't have to wear uniforms. His teacher requested they dress "like royalty" and gave them all crowns. Isaac wore his knight costume (or jedi knight costume, depending on the Halloween) over a button up shirt and cargo shorts. It just proves what resourceful parents can do with a plain tunic - we've gotten alot of miles out of that thing.

Promptly after arriving, my kids ate the rest of the class under the table. Here'a shot of Sir Eats-a-lot and Lady Ultra Feast

After breakfast it was show time. The class read a fairy tale poem. After that they each read the summary of the fairy tale books they wrote.

Isaac's book wasn't really the most original premise, although most of the other kids wrote stories called 3 Goats and a Dog or 3 Dinosaurs and a Dragon. Isaac's was called Coraline the Story. It did however have hands down the best summary. The wrap up question was "Do you like black cats, magic and mild violence? Then read my book." Sooo Isaac! He was quite the performer. Riley was a captive audience until she noticed the balloons tied to the microphone.

The balloons.
Isaac's Book Summary (for your view pleasure):

It was a great morning. I wish I could have been more involved with Isaac's class this year, I really miss being a part of stuff like this. I took it for granted when he was younger that I'd always be able to be part of his educational experience. Between my hip and Riley I think this is the second event I've attended all year. I'm really going to miss Isaac's second grade teacher. She's amazing.

Isaac and his teacher.
Riley and her heart's desire.
