Kindi 500

So the cutest thing happened at school today. The Kindergarten classes had a "parade"! Each child came to school in a big cardboard box car. These cars weren't just any cars...they were cars the children could actually wear. Some of the dads definitely had a testosterone rush when making these cars (they really tried to out do everyone else). These kids "rode" in the parade around the halls of school everyone in their homemade car while the entire school lined the hallways waving flags and cheering like a REAL parade.

The kindergarten for the past month has been talking about patriotism and learning patriotic songs and learning about the USA! Today was their celebration. It took up the whole morning and was seriously the COOLEST idea ever.

Once again, I wish I had my camera at school (my other school did a Halloween parade and EVERYONE dressed up). The best car here was actually on wheels. It was a GIGANTIC truck that the parents actually had to help steer around the halls. Let me explain...
it wasn't like steered with a steering wheel, just the bed of the truck was on casters and when the boy, who was walking inside, tried to turn the parents had to steer the back so it would go where it was supposed to. CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!


Here is an example...

We did this last year for Landon's B-day, but we let the kids make their own. It was so cute, and hilarious to watch them race!

That's so cute! I totally expected to see a picture of a brown box with wheels drawn on with permanent marker or something! Those cars are pretty intense! Fun! :)

i agree with mishi.. i don't think we ever really got that invovled in a project in kindergarten... it was good if it was colorful and somewhat resembled what we were supposed to do..

Very cute! We do something similar at our school. And yes, I hate to say, we are the type of parents that get really into our kid's projects. Having Kristen nearby helps a lot, too. One time she stayed over until almost midnight helping with a project.
