A Day at the Beach

Lola's kindergarten class had their lessons at Leo Carrillo Beach last Friday. The day was crystal clear and breezy. The kids were wiggly and eager, squinting in the bright sunshine, making "sand angels" and trying valiantly to pay attention to their teacher Miss Jo's diatribe on sea creatures and the ocean. Finally, mercifully, the kids were allowed to frolic in the surf. But the undertow was so intense, that this photographer had to put down the camera to keep an eye on her own little sea creature. We all went home sandy and windblown, filled with lungfuls of ocean air.

Even Kindergartners Have Jobs

Every morning, all the kindergarteners come to class a little early to complete their "jobs," from crossing out the day on the calendar to helping dump out the recycling bins. They take great pride in them. Throughout the day, they put their artwork in their cubbies. Each cubby is its own little work of art.

The Wonderful World of Kindergarten

Here's a bird's eye view of Lola's classroom. The place is massive and every spare spot it filled with the childrens' art and small photos representative of what goes on in every corner. It's very dear.
