THANK YOU so much to our party mom Devon Stronach. The children enjoyed the wonderful snack and were so excited about getting to take the thanksgiving blessing mix home. Also wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Cooke's mommy - Cindy Rodes for teaching our children in a fun and hands on way. The children had so much fun learning about cooking in the kitchen. I hope everyone was able to enjoy the wonderful recipe that she sent home. I know my family did.

November Learning

They did this all on their own. It's so much fun to watch them.

T painting his turkey.. We are so proud of T for getting into his art work. As long as we don't paint his hand that is.. :-)

Connor painting his turkey. Its so much fun listining to the stories he tells us as he paints.

I am so proud of your children. They are such great listeners and are learning so much through hands on play. Here are a few pictures of the fun we have had so far this November. Please remember to ask your child about his or her day. They are excited about what they are learning. Mrs. Terre and I are so thankful for the special guest who have visited our classroom this month. They have taught us about animals and safety. We have learned some words in Spanish while listening to the story of the "Three bears". We even learned about cooking and nutrition. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Ava and Darby work together to make the prettiest piece of pumpkin pie. Way to go girls! Great job taking turns.

Our wonderful Halloween party! Thank you to Cherie Taylor (Anne Millers mommy) and to Joanna Ross (France's mommy) for the yummy treats and the awesome Halloween pails with our names on them. We will be working on name recognition after Halloween so you may want to keep these pails out for a while and work with your little ones at home.

Brook having so much fun with our noodle painting.

Anne Miller and Frances sharing a toy. Great job girls.

Thank you to Susan Pitts (Ava's Mommy) for bringing a yummy Halloween snack for our class and hanging out to have some fun with us.

Darby, Avery, Christopher and Ava have fun with noodle painting. Some of our art in the classroom will be for experience only. Its messy and the kids love it. Its a great way to explore textures while having fun.

I know the children are excited, and I wanted to take this time to wish each of you a safe and happy Halloween. I am so proud of your little ones for being so brave and singing on stage this past week. I wish you all could hear them sing in the classroom they really get into it.. Here are a few pictures from the month of October. I hope you enjoy seeing all of the fun and learning we had.

The start of something new

Along with our new class blog comes Exciting news for the Quick family, and we wanted to share it with you. My husband and I are expecting our third child around May 7th 2011. We are thrilled and so are our two children. I thought I would share a story my daughter wrote at school to sum up our excitement.

About two months ago my brother and I found out some extraordinary news! In nine months we were going to be blessed with a new addition to our family! My mom said to not tell anybody for a little while, but how could I not? I'm so excited.
In about two months the doctor will tell us what the baby is and I can't wait! We did a bunch of research about what the baby looks like and what it's doing. About now it looks like a tiny blueberry and it's doing nothing. Boring!
When my mom came back from her last doctor appointment, she brought small photos of the baby inside the womb. You could barely see it inside the water bag! My parents were going crazy over how much it already looked like a baby! I was thinking, "Huh?" I didn't see how it looked like a baby, but I guess I'm not my parents. I can't wait until it actually looks like a baby, but for now I guess I'll just have to wait six more months full of mood swings and excitement!

Thanks for letting my family share our exciting news with you.

"Bee" Happy at school

Welcome to our classroom! I am pleased to say that we had 100% interest in our class blog.

I am so proud of all of the children for the progress they have made so far. We have been staying busy while learning more about each other, our friends, and our school day. Here are a few pictures of your children being busy little bee's. I hope you enjoy! Stay tuned, October fun to come!
