Whew! What a full day of activity...I think that even the kids were worn out at the end of the day.
We started from the school at 11:14am and walked to Atencio's Market. The kids were split into groups and given a shopping list with items that they will need for Monday's picnic. They had to locate the items in the store, write down the prices and determine the number of servings per package. Monday morning, they will have to figure out what (and how much of each item) they need to purchase for their picnic and make it all work within the class budget. Math in action!

We left Atencio's and walked to Calvillo's for lunch. Everyone was on their best behavior and lunch was very enjoyable.
From Calvillo's, we walked to Cole Park to let the kiddos burn off some energy. They had a great time!
From Cole Park, we headed to Main Street for a downtown "window shopping" tour. It was kind of funny how the kids all gathered at the windows and looked into all of the downtown businesses...the people inside the shops had to have wondered what the heck was going on!
The kids were getting pretty tired by the time we got back to the school at 2:55pm. Some were complaining, most dramatically, that they weren't going to make it. Funny how, when the bell rang (at 3:00pm) and the Late Night activities began, they were able to run and play at Boyd Park for almost an hour!!
Late Night is, apparently, a highly anticipated event and tonight's activities began after the remainder of students, teachers, etc. cleared out and Mrs. Price's students were the only ones inside the school building. When Jamie first mentioned it he was very concerned that he wouldn't be allowed to participate because it would interfere with his bedtime. Late Night was to go until 8:00pm, which is the time he usually goes to bed. He was thrilled when we said he could go. There were lots of activities planned (board games, playing in the gym, watching a movie, pizza & birthday cupcakes) but the highlight of said Late Night was having PERMISSION to run in the halls!!
board games
the look on Parker's face says it all...pure JOY, while being allowed to run in the hall!
