Cowboy {GIRL} CowPOKE Day

COWBOY~COWGIRL~COWPOKE

Last week was W week in E’s kindergarten.
WESTERN WEEK
They had a COWPOKE day, they could dress up in cowpoke clothes {no weapons please, no ropes, no spurs, no guns…}
“Ye~haw cowgirl”
“Yippie~ki~Ay, Get along Little Doggie”
Were stated, shouted and sung through the house while on a full on gallop
{E wore the cow skirt I made for chick~fil~a day last July, she will be wearing it again this summer!}
Their teachers had  plenty of activities planned.
They would have a few games, read a few books on cowboys, do “western” papers, they would have fun, and a guest cowboy.

 They had pony races around their playground.
They “roped” cattle, using a hula~hoop and safety cones.
They searched for sheriff badges.
They had a pony obstacle course around their play ground.
They played toss the snake.
They listened to a “real cowboy” who lives on a ranch crack his whip.
It was a very loud crack, he explained that they don’t hit the cows with the whip, but the crack of the whip scares the cows into cooperation.
Overall it was a great day during W week!
Later that night she and 7 lucky friends from her class all caught the stomach bug, at least we were in good company!

Go hug your kids, they need your love
