We had a super day today. We started off with Mr. Clint Perry, our good friend of 25 years and bug man come and spray the school. He is always so interesting about new and different pest products. He uses all natural and organic materials which are harmful to bugs but not to children or adults.
If you want his number, please ask.
We are working on a packet of pen pal information to send. We worked on self portraits today.
In class, my room was spectacular. We worked on following directions, and addition. The kids all enjoyed adding Popsicle sticks. Every one understood what we were doing. We have two children who can't read numbers yet, and it's a barrier to some math, but the concepts are there and that's interesting.
We did our flash card game and David and Austin won with seven cards each.
The children are having fun coloring dragons. Every so often we get on a binge of this or that, and this week it's dragons.
The new fun game is Marbleworks again. Clays are second.
I am searching EVV for tiny china tea sets. If you see some in your wanderings, please let me know. I want about ten of them for the girls to play with at the tables. I got one someplace for about $1.00 Can't remember where, however.
There has been a lot of reading going on in the library, and that's a really good thing. The little kids take out the books and make a mess, but suddenly, they are taking the time to look at them and that can only be a positive thing.
If anyone has a rug cleaner they wouldn't mind lending, let me know. I'll trade you for a guinea pig or a pair of love birds or even a cat overnight. Maestro would love to visit your home!
Lunch was pizza, watermelon, grapes!!! and salad and milk. Tomorrow is chicken pot pie, water melon and canteloup, hard rolls, salad, cottage cheese and milk.
Friday is a fine arts day. We will look at Gauguin and color spaces.
