I feel like I haven't blogged FOREVER! School has been so crazy busy that I seem to forget...I'm sorry. I'll start with homecoming. Homecoming at Bethel was already 2 weeks ago. That is so weird to think about. I am involved in Student Activities on campus, so I was able to help with the planning of the activities! (I also got to be Roy the Royal on Homecoming Cheer Night! shhhhhhh!!!!) We ended the week with a win against Augsburg and a wonderful banquet with all my closest Bethel girls.
Last weekend I had my fall break and spent Thursday and Friday reading to some kiddos! I went to Mrs. Harris's 1st grade classroom and Mrs. Zafft's kindergarten classroom on Thursday morning at Hartley. Afterwards I headed over to Hansel and Gretel for the morning and afternoon class! Friday I spent the entire morning with Team Academy grades K-6! I had the opportunity to teach all of these kids about what hunger is and how even people in our community are affected by it. We read a book called Stone Soup which is about how 3 monks start to make soup with stones in a village of selfish people. The monks draw attention to themselves by doing so and eventually the villagers become more and more giving. I talked about how I wanted to give to the hungry in hopes of others seeing the good deed I am doing and that they would want to do the same. After reading and discussing the story, I let them ask me ANY questions they wanted! The most popular ones were how my crown stayed on and if I lived in a castle (: the Team Academy kindergarteners also told me their dads were going to call me! (I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing!)
here are some of the kids I talked to!
Saturday morning was an early one as I trekked up to the Mall of America for the Walk for Autism to support Miss Minnesota, Rebecca Yeh! It was such a cool opportunity to see the program that Rebecca is so passionate about in action. Lauren and I got to spend quality time with Rebecca and Corrina for the few hours we were there also! They are both so hilarious and I am so excited to get to know them better!
Did I mention we met Spongebob?!
Lauren and I met up with our lovely director, Christy, and went evening gown shopping after the walk! It was a long day, but I said yes to the dress (twice)! I was successful in finding an evening gown AND a talent dress (: It felt like Christmas!
This coming weekend I start BINGO at Katie's in Waseca and get to hang out at FarmAmerica's Haunted Corn Maze with my sister queen, Sadie! Check for that blog next weekend!
xoxo,
Katie
