The End of the Almond Era

Image
 And just like that, the year of Almond is over. We've gone to space, learned to take care of plants, explored the ocean, Jurassic times, learned all about the weather and so much more. These kiddos taught me so much and I can only hope I taught them just as much. I will miss every one of them with everything I am, and I know the same goes for Miss Stacy.  I am so happy we were able to grow together through our art, through our play, and through all our emotions.  I am so proud of how they've all grown and I can't wait for you all to see it. Here are their beginning of the year pictures and end.  We love you Almond friends, and I can't wait to continue to watch you grow up.  Love, Mrs. Hannah and Miss Stacy💛 (I cried making this)  Indiana Learning Foundations:  SS1.1 Demonstrate development of self, SW1.2 Demonstrate identification and expression of emotions, SW4.1 Demonstrate relationship skills

Who will they be?

 Who will they be? That's the question I continue to ask myself, "Who will they be, when I see them next?" "Who will they be in five years, or ten?" Here's who they want to be....  The world will be a great place with whatever they choose to be, as long as they are in the world.

Rainbows of our own and Weather Posters

Image
 In the Art Atelier on Thursday the kiddos got to make their very own rainbows! They each got a white piece of paper and a black sharpie and made their clouds. When they finished with their clouds, they picked each color of the rainbow and glued it to their clouds. They turned out so well. Earlier in the week some of our friends noticed Miss Stacy making weather posters and wanted to make some too! Each kiddo chose the weather they wanted and all throughout the week we've been learning to draw them, learning more about them and talking about what we already do know! During table invitations, large group activity and the art atelier the kiddos made their own weather drawings and attempted to write the words. It's so fun seeing them try to write it on their own, the way they place the letters and how they interpret the way to make the letters. I love seeing them make the shapes and point out what letter they just created, the way they say "Look, I did it, I made an S" I...

A Rainy and Muddy Time

Image
 Wednesday's adventure was full of rain and mud! (Sorry to your washer and dryers) In the beginning, it seemed too rainy and gross to go out but a little bit later we decided that was what rain suits were for! The rain and mud! We finished up circle time and got the kids ready and ran outside and splashed, slid and dived into the puddles! Miss Stacy even joined them! It was such a fun way to end the first part of the day before lunch. I can't wait for the kiddos to tell you all about it!
