Field trip

Hudson and Molly went strawberry picking yesterday as part of their first-ever Chinese kindergarten field trip.

They brought back two bowls full of organic strawberries and said they were surprised they picked them inside a greenhouse instead of outside on a farm.

After picking the strawberries, they ate lunch together on the  bus. (This was so exiting for them too!) It was my first time in two years to pack a school lunch to send with them that morning. The kindergarten provides breakfast, lunch, snacks and even dinner each day.

After lunch, the kids headed to a museum. I'm not exactly sure what they did there but Molly said there were toys and Hudson said there were bouncing balls. I got conflicting reports on whether they played with the toys and games or just watched them. Regardless, they thought it was neat. :)

Kevin and I were both working so our Chinese tutor went along with the kids on the field trip. We love working with her three days a week! She does an excellent job incorporating crafts and imaginative play as she's teaching Molly and Hudson to speak more Chinese. 

Molly has also gotten to go ice skating several times with a group of friends. Once a week several homeschooling moms get their kids together for PE-type activities. Hudson hasn't wanted to try it just yet, but he's thinking about it.
