Pinwheels for Peace

As you may know, today is International Peace Day. The elementary school celebrated again this year by making and planting pinwheels and having a little ceremony. It was nice, but hot! It was 97 degrees when I pulled up to watch. I felt bad that both of my kids were wearing long and dark pants.  We have had some cooler fall days, but it has gotten hot again the past few.

This is the Kindergarten and First Grade area.  There was a good breeze to keep their pinwheels spinning.

Jarem doing the signs for the song they sang...he loves music.  He told me this week that he can't wait until Thursday because that is music.

Jarem waving bye heading back inside for another couple of hours.  He was the caboose.  In their class they have a line leader and a caboose.  The caboose and line leader are a special privilege. :)

I remember pics of the pinwheels that you posted last year. That is a fun tradition at their school. I can't believe you had such hot weather. We actually saw some sun today. It was so nice!
