Squirting water in the garden!

Pretending to be adults! While studying the human body, the kids became fascinated with what they might look like as adults. So I gathered supplies and we did a photo project. Such fun!

Working in the writing center.

Creating in the classroom. Wooden shapes open up endless possibility.

Fun with Forts!

What I heard at school today...

I keep telling people that I overhear some hilarious conversations between preschoolers, so I've decided to try to report some of what I hear at school to this blog.  Here is what I overheard today:

Dakota: Kristi, I don't know who will marry me when I get older.  When I'm older and I want to marry a man, because I'm a woman and we're going to have a baby.
Kristi: Well...sometimes we have to wait for a long time before we meet the person we want to marry.
Dakota:  I don't want to wait too long.  Coltrane, will you marry me when I am an adult?
Coltrane:  Umm...uh.  I think I'm gonna have a different wife, Dakota.
Dakota:  Nolan, will you marry me when I get to be an adult?
Nolan: I am just a boy and boys can't get married.
Dakota:  Sasha, will you marry me?
Sasha:  Sure.  We can live in New York.  I can live upstairs and you can live downstairs.
Dakota:  I don't want to live in New York!  I want to live in San Bruno.
Sasha:  Ok.
Dakota:  But I want us to live in the same city.
Sasha:  We can work it out.

Learning about the human body this month. Making skeletons.

After receiving a generous donation of books and puzzles from a neighbor, our little villagers went straight to work on thank you cards. And then we mailed them together.

Our princess ball included all of the traditional dances.

Nolan and Coltrane show us their puppets.
