Our Week (May 20-26)

Last preschool of the school year (except for a field trip next Wednesday):

Lizzie's project fair. She picked a topic to research (India), and created the poster and PowerPoint presentation independently. She also gave a short oral presentation on what she learned:

At the Pflugerville Public Works open house:

After letting the kids climb on the tractor and honk the horn, this Public Works employee gave us a really informative tour of the water treatment plant. The Public Works director also gave us a tour of their brand-new office building, and the kids got water conservation goodie bags to take home.

Fun with Anna:

This picture is my favorite. We fit 7 little kids back there. Owen just covered his ears and scowled at Anna while she cried. At first William was intrigued by her, but then he started to tell her to "Be Quiet" repeatedly. Ha ha.
