Because the two groups of Kindergarteners come every second day, Monday and Tuesday are alike and Thursday and Friday are alike. Wednesdays, though, are very special. Wednesdays are Blue's Clues days! We do games and art in the morning and then, to the childrens' surprise, watch an episode of Blue's Clues in the afternoon in which Steve and Blue do
the very same activities.

The best part of the day was making self-portraits. We used paint to make our faces, legs, and arms. We coloured our clothes with crayons:

Steve painted a self-portrait, too!
Blue's Clues is the best researched, most interactive educational television programme ever screened for Kindergarteners. The class was so excited to yell at the screen whenever they saw "A clue! A clue!"
