Day 37: Q, Q, What Begins with Q?

Today was Quinn's "day" at school. Each week a child is chosen as the "Reader of the Week" and on Friday they bring in one or two of their favorite books, something for Show and Tell, and a snack that starts with the same letter as their first name. Now, you tell me just how many snacks you can think of that start with a "Q". Not many, right? Somehow it never occurred to us when we chose the name Quinn that we might one day have to come up with "Q" snacks. I knew our turn would eventually come so I had prepared a mental list of possible snacks, but for some reason I didn't discover the newsletter telling me that it was THIS Friday until Thursday morning. Jon had to be at school to hand out awards for the Kiwanis Club so he came to the classroom and helped me make fruit quesadillas (cream cheese and strawberry filling), which we served with Quakes (Quaker rice cakes) and Nestle Quik. Then I read Hello Ocean and Llama Llama Mad at Mama to the class. Quinn took in her purple spinning/singing octopus to show her friends, although she wouldn't talk about it. So this is me reading to the class, with a photo courtesy of Jon. You can see Quinn in the middle bottom of the picture wearing a pink shirt.

  1. Wow, you found not one but three "Q" snacks!

    I like "Reader of the Week" as opposed to Star of the week.
