Coffee Filter or Bowl?

My trip to Sam's Club has left us with a VERY LARGE stack of coffee filters in the pantry. Madison decided to have a snack this afternoon after school and couldn't reach the bowls, so she improvised and decided to use a coffee filter as a bowl for her Sun Chips. What a creative solution to her problem.
***************************************
She had another great day at school. She got 6/6 stars. They played "Who's Under the Blanket?" Mrs. Hunter read them Trouble at School. They got to make a personnel page with their height, weight, and hand print to document their growth at the beginning of the year. They also got to go outside and play on the playground today rather than having Center Time inside.

Tonight we did another homework activity based on Bears in Pairs. We went around the house and tried to find items that started with the letter "B." On our "B Hunt" we found: blueberries, books, blanket, bed, bathroom, bedroom, bow, bench, box, bookcase, bear, ball, black bag, bike, bubbles, blocks, bananas, backpack, belt, and Belle (princess). Madison did a great job deciding whether or not items we found started with the letter "B" or not. The only item that stumped her was a pillow. She first said that it started with the letter "B," but then corrected herself and said "No, it starts with a /p/ like in pig."

Our first grade teachers at school use coffee filters to hold snacks. It's a great idea! Loved the baby pictures of Jocelyn. Have a great time with your parents. Hugs and kisses, Nana and Pop

Jeren always digs out coffee filters from our cupboard but he usually just peels them apart and then crumples them up and throws them away! I like the bowl idea much better! Great job Madison!
