Today I went into Sofia's class for her classroom winter celebration. Gone are the days of junk food at parties. In fact, there was no food at all! I was not surprised though as the school policy is to not bring sweets to school. While I think that saying no sweets because there is an epidemic of childhood obesity is ridiculous since it is not the 13 cupcakes throughout a year that make a child obese. However, having no food at the party makes it more of a parent/child interactive time which is definitely nice to have. Today Sofia's teacher had us work on making a polygon snowman since the kids are just starting to work on polygons. Sofia and I had fun making our snowman and made him quite snazzy with a vest!
I love the no food thing! I was just lamenting over the snack schedule I got for Owen's basketball club on Saturdays. It's getting a bit silly, I think. Yay for your school!
