Hoda Kotbmay have become the coolest parent at her daughter Haley’s school.
Haley, 7, joined her mom for an impressivefield trip alongside herfirst-grade class on Tuesday morning. Kotb’s eldest daughter brought along around 20 other first-grade students to watch Kotb andJenna Bush Hagerhost theTodayshow.
“I have a question,” Kotb then asked the students. “Is this the best field trip you’ve ever had?”
“YEAH!” cheered the happy students.
“You have set the bar very high,” added Bush Hager.
“I’m so happy,” Kotb simply replied.
“Hoda is now the most popular mom in the whole school,” joked Bush Hager.
The children and their teachers then sat off-camera beside the co-anchors' desks as they conducted their show. Before the hosts began their show, Haley joined her mom for a quick moment to talk about the exciting field trip.
“Hey Haley, come here for one second,” Kotb called for her daughter. Haley happily obliged and jumped onto her mom’s lap, smiling from ear to ear. “Is it fun having your whole class here?” asked Kotb.
Beaming wide for the cameras — and her mom — Haley replied, “Yeah!”
“Do you love it?” asked the mother of two.
Bush Hager chimed in and asked, “Haley, is your mom the best mom ever?” which prompted Haley to enthusiastically nod her head in agreement.
“We’re so happy because she’s got such wonderful kids in all the classes that came today. And they have been so polite, and kind, and cooperative and amazing,” added Kotb. “Happy field trip day!”
“So Hoda’s doing everything; she’s hosting a show, she’s hosting a field trip, and she’s being a mother,” stated Bush Hager. “She really can do it all.”

As the show continued, Kotb shared that her daughters, Haley and Hope, 4, like to play their version of “Hoda and Jenna” — but Haley likes to take on Bush Hager’s role. That was until this morning’s broadcast, when Bush Hager asked who Haley prefers to be, and Haley changed her answer and shared that she now likes to be her mom.
