Kalyn's Show & Tell

We've said it once and we'll say it again, we love Kalyn's preschool teachers, Bernadette and Lisa. It's also fun because they taught Trinity as well. One thing they do is assign a child a "Top Banana" day once a month - they get to lead the lines, help out the teachers and bring in a show and tell item. Bernadette has always said that it would be best if the show and tell item matches up with letter they are studying for the week. I always try to comply. However, this month, I just had to laugh. There are just some letters that are a little bit more difficult. Both of our girls have now fallen on X week. X!!! Unfortunately, we had a great time with X three years ago with Trinity - sending her on a scavenger hunt looking for various Xes and sending in a "book" showing her journey and the various clues. The pressure was on (and Bernadette let me know, jokingly). I had to deliver. Here's what we came up with ~

We first put Dax up in his kennel then had lunch at Zaxby's, where Kalyn sat next to Xander.

We then went to Publix, picked up a couple of boxes and then exited.

At home, Kalyn did some mixing.

While we waited, we read books such as Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day, Fox in Socks, Alex and the Box Shop and Six Silly Foxes.

When it was all over, Kalyn had an extra special treat to share with her class.


The book we compiled with pictures turned out wonderfully! I have already given my "warning" that if Xander somehow ends up on the X week when he's in Bernadette's class, he's coming in with just himself!
