Doctor Week...

This week we have been learning all about doctors and what they do. One of our sweet moms brought us all this fun gear for dress-up and we just had to share the cute pictures. Enjoy!

We Get To Go OUTSIDE!

This winter has been so cold and rainy any day we can go outside is a very special treat. And a much needed one at that.

Attempts at a group photo

This picture makes me laugh. You can tell John Spencer is thinking "What has mom signed me up for? These people are NUTS!"

My Little Pilgrims

Ok, so I admit it... One reason I am a preschool teacher is that I love to make crafts. That became evident when we got a little carried away and made nine Thanksgiving projects. I had found a template for a cute Pilgrim mask and quickly decided it was a little too difficult for two year olds to make so I made everyone's mask for them. These pictures make me laugh. That probably makes me weird. But that's ok, a person probably has to be a little weird to teach preschool too. :)

Such Determination

Ahhh, to be two again! I love the attention to the task at hand! 

This is the class making their Native American headdress for the Thanksgiving performance.

Sharing

I realized today that I saved the last three video posts as drafts on accidents...so here's video #3

How often do you see an ENTIRE class of twos year olds patiently waiting their turn to share ONE car?

Let me tell you, its EXTREMELY rare! 

That is the exact reason I raced to my car to grab my camera after I realized this "sharing circle" would actually last longer than 30 secs.

*Disclaimer: Please ignore my talking! :-)*

They sat in this circle and passed the car to each other for nearly 10 minutes. 

Those of you who know this class (or any two year old for that matter), knows that this is an AMAZING feat!

What can I say? We have THE BEST CLASS EVER!

Finally back...

First I want to start out by apologizing for not posting in forever...I've had several technical difficulties. 

Now, on to a fun Fall post.

But before I move onto other pictures, I first want to introduce everyone to our new friend Emily. She joined our class last week & we love having her in our class!

Our new friend, Emily

Hope everyone has an GREAT week!!!

We're going on a safari....

what do you think we'll find?

This week we've been learning about the different animals that live in the African jungles & savanna. We made binoculars to help us find the different animals, and this morning we went on a safari to see what all we can find! I won't talk to much..I'll try to let the pictures do the talking! 

Getting our binoculars on & preparing to start our safari

Campbell giving her binoculars a test...gotta make sure they work!

Duncan's got a little twisted

When we first got out there, Mrs. Patricia was nice enough to show us what to do on our safari...

Anna Kate trying to find the animals

Cameron & Campbell excited about finding a Zebra!

Coleman found a Lion resting in the "trees"

Following Mrs. Patricia (our safari guide) around the "African plains" in search of animals

Looking hard or playing hard?

Micah was able to get up close & personal with the crocodile
(of course still needing the binoculars to see REALLY up close)

Group photo after our fun safari...showing off our binoculars & all the animals we found!

Lining up to go back inside after our fun (and HOT) African safari

Before heading back to class, we of course had to show Mrs. Emmy all the animals
 & tell her about all the fun we had!

Cameron checking out the "shark" in Mrs. Emmy's office
(Gotta love a two year old's imagination)

Mrs. Patricia's mom works at a thrift shop in Montgomery & found this really cool safari lamp. She was kind enough to let us borrow it this week as we learned about all these fun animals! It had zebras, lions, elephants, monkeys, and so much more!!!

Mrs. Patricia pointing out the different animals to the class

They watched the animals go round & round for 15min. and were
 upset when we had to turn it off!
(We need something like this for every lesson!)

I love this picture...you can see on their faces how excited they are about
seeing the different animals & knowing what they are!

I say it all the time...but I love this age. Watching learn to not just talk but communicate (we hear more & more stories each week), watching their personalities really come out & shine, watching them become more independent, I could go on & on! Thank you for allowing us to teach these amazing kids! And in case I haven't mentioned it...your kids are ADORABLE!!!!

***If you see a picture of your child that you like & would like a print of it...just let us know! I am more than happy to make you a print of any picture. If you get a print made, the watermark will not be on it!

Week One....

With the first week of school  over and done with, we wanted to show you a few of the things we did. Hope you enjoy!
