Happy May. I am sharing a food theme card today since it is FOODie Friday. I don't think we will be able to have watermelon since that is not in season, but I can't wait to see what we will have for the kiddos. The other week we had cherries and only about 2/3 of the class liked them. In fairness I didn't taste them, so I don't know it they were ripe or not, but I was surprised by that. I think the topic for the week is called "SMOOTHIE" friday and all the kids will get a blend of something.

Just Because
Happy Monday. Glad to have a day off this week to get more chores done before starting up my school week. Just three more school days here in April and then we are on the last month of school. WOW. I am so thankful that this year is coming safely to an end and that we are approaching May. I realized this past weekend that I had only like 6 days to pack and the rest of my weekend time was busy so I had to bust out the suitcases and start!

Keep Growing
Happy Tuesday everyone! Time to go and work with the kiddos. I can't believe there's just 20 school days left. WOW. I wonder if they will miss me? I am not sure if this card is for the kiddos or the flowers. Perhaps both! It will be so nice to see the kiddos next year in school, I am sure I will be so surprised to see how much they grew over the summer.

April Showers
It's Tuesday and thus the week gets started and I am going in to school this morning to see the kiddos. I hope that they are ready to have some fun!! WOO HOO. We are a play based school where the kids learn based on playing and conversations. Current studies show that play based learning actually has a higher retention and long term effect over sitting at a desk (at preschool levels to kindergarten).

Guest Designer The Turtle Shop
Sharing this fun project today from a place called the Turtle Shop. It was a child in the recent Children's bazaar. She didn't want her name, just the name of her store. All the money she made was going towards saving the turtles in Texas. How sweet is that?
