Mardi Gras!

A few weeks ago, Brayden's class had a Mardi Gras party and parade. They spent the whole week learning about Mardi Gras and making a float for their parade. So on the day of his parade, I went over to the school to watch. All the kids in his class put on masks, had noise makers, and had beads and gold candy coins to throw to other kids when their parade came through their class. 

Here was their float. Each kid in his class got to work on a section of it and decorate it however they wanted. They had music playing and all the kids lined up behind it and danced through the halls making LOTS of noise with their noisemakers. They had a blast!

Brayden really loved being able to dance around and be loud and obnoxious through the halls.



His whole class! They all had fun doing the parade.

Brayden had fun learning about Mardi Gras. I must admit, he knew more then I did about it. It was a fun unit to learn about. Gotta love teachers that help their kids learn things in such fun ways!

I remember Jaron learning about Mardi Gras with Mrs. Norman in 2nd grade. He loved it because him and Hailey Caron were voted Mardi Gras king and queen.
