Hedge Hogs!

Kaleb really has the neatest 1st grade Teacher. Mrs. Forman is the BEST!!! She is always doing fun things in her classes to make learning fun for her students! I adore her and so does Kaleb. A couple of weeks ago, she sent out a sign up sheet asking for some volunteers to come and help make Hedge Hogs with the kids in her class. I love helping out in Kaleb's class and really enjoy being able to spend time with him and see how he is doing in his classroom. Kaleb also seems to enjoy when I come in to help, so for the time being I will continue to go until he thinks his mom is uncool! :D

Just one other mom and I accepted the challenge to go and help, which I thought was sad, but that didn't deter us and we had a blast helping the kids. The kids were all excited and the room was abuzz with enthusiasm. To make the hedgehog we scooped grass seed and soil and placed both items in a sock and then patted it down to make a circle and tied off the bottom. I got to help Kaleb and it was so much fun!!

After all the kids got a turn making a hedge hog, we placed them into bowls and set them on the window sill to get some sunshine so they could start growing!!

The hedgehogs are in the window sill behind his class!

Now this little guy is sitting in our window sill at home growing a tuft of Hair! So cute!
