Education Can Be Fun!

Caden is having so much fun at school and learning tons of cool stuff. He shares bits and pieces of it with us throughout the day and it just makes me smile to see how much fun he is having with learning.

Apparently they have talked about traffic signs and such...from his comments and a few notes sent home from his teacher. He also said something about a snack with crackers, icing, and m&m's. Well today I break out the graham crackers and he begs for traffic light snack. I think what on earth is he talking about...but then figure it out! We have some vanilla icing left over from the party Friday and a pack of m&m's...we are in business!

Instantly he ices one and turns it into a traffic light. Devin, this is for you...he wanted me to take a picture and blog about it :) So here it is for the grandparents to see!
Carter had to get in on the action, but doesn't quite get the concept of a traffic light. He did tell me that red means stop and green mean go fast...so we are getting there!
I am so thankful Caden is enjoying school and learning some fun things! I also love that snack time can be educational! Fun times today!

I love it!

Caden, tell your mommy that I am SO glad she blogged about this--another idea I am TOTALLY stealing when I take class treats! Fun, yummy, AND educational!

Colin saw these and loved them, by the way...

So, does green mean go fast??? not just go? Is that how you drive?
