Insects

This week the children are learning about insects: fireflies, bumble bees, ants, and grasshoppers. 
Here's a peek at the art projects:



For jobs the children are practicing counting and making tally marks, counting how many insects in a jar and writing the number, capitalizing letters, and identify letters.  

Next week the children will celebrate Dr. Seuss. 

USA

Last week the children learned about America, Abe Lincoln, George Washington, and Bald Eagles. 
Here are some examples from last year:





For jobs that children practiced capitalizing letters, measuring Lincoln's hat, finishing flag patterns, and counting stars.

Visit

It's been a long time since I've made a blog post and I have no idea where this time has gone. 

I was SO excited today that I got to spend the morning visiting with the children and take the class picture with them. I have truly missed them. At first it felt strange walking into the classroom after not being there for the past 7 weeks, but the children made me ALL feel welcomed as I received numerous hugs and sweet smiles. Today made me ready to coming back on March 17. I was surprise that I bounced back into teacher mode within minutes of being in there. I was sad to leave but happy to come home to my little man. 

Speaking of my little man...here are some recent pictures:




Finn is almost 8 weeks/2months.  February 14 we had to take him to the doctor for his first ear infection, luckily you would have never know he was sick. At that time he weight 10.8 pounds...I can't believe how much he has grown in a short amount of time. We are finally starting to figure out our nights and days. Last night he went 7 hours in-between feedings...yay. This week he has been going 5-6 hours so I have been feeling more rested (I hope he keeps this up specially when I go back). 

Once again I thank each of you for being so supportive during this wonderful time for me.
