Happy Birthday Brayden and Vivi!

Happy Birthday Brayden!

You have grown up right before my eyes!

This is your last year of preschool!

I can't believe it!

I love you big guy!

Happy Birthday Sweet Vivian Grace!

I am so glad you get to hang with me all day since you are a big 3

years old now! We are gonna have SO much fun!

I love you sweetie!

With Love,

Ms. Melea

Playing Catch Up...

Here is a little catch up post!

I was out of pocket for a few days!

It is FAIR time!

It always seems to sneak up on me!

I racked my brain trying to think of a new and adorable craft this year.

I had a "theme" I wanted to do,

and my mind just started popping off ideas.

Poor Kathy and Misti!

It seems like I ask them about every idea that pops into my head!

I came up with a Garden Theme.

The kids loved painting their pots!

Gavin likes to have a snack when he works on his crafs!

Eli was upset until he found out he got to paint!

Dane was working hard!

And Emma too!

I think the final product turned out so cute!

"Water Your Child With Love,

and Watch Them Grow"

Make sure that you get your child's free pass from one of us

and take them to see their craft at the Carroll County Fair!

A big thanks to Kathy and Misti for taking care of this while I was gone!

And also a thanks to Misti for setting it up at the fair!

It is so nice to have people that you can count on!

***********************

Now- for this week!

We are learning about the color BLUE and the CIRCLE shape.

Yes MOST of the kids already know their shapes and colors-

but we are still working on learning our routine and it helps to

review and it actually helps the children with their confidence in learning!

Especially before the hard stuff!

We worked on a tracing and coloring sheet.

We played a cool game with a blue balloon!

Ask them about it!

(By the way- I hate balloons and I NEVER let the kids

actually "play" with them! They are so dangerous!)

We also looked up Circle and blue things on the internet

and learned 2 new songs! Ask them to sing the Cindy Circle Song

and the Blue song to you!

Then we went outside for some fun!

Gavin loves my lens cover.

Cuties. 

Handsome Boy.

Zakary is as sweet as he is handsome!

Believe it or not- this handsome boy found "treasure"

on the playground today!

Love. These. Kids.

You are so funny Cadyn! 

Sweet Axton. 

And Miss Adria.

Sweet little princess. 

I also have 2 birthdays to cover, so I will do another post!

Hope your day has been great!

With Love, Miss Melea

I

Yay for Tuesday!

We are continuing our RED week!

This morning we read 2 Clifford the Big RED Dog books.

The kids LOVE Clifford books.

Then we learned another cool Red song.

It's call "The Little Red Wagon".

I learned that song on our mission trip to Memphis last year!

The kids LOVE it too!

Ask them to sing it to you!

We then got to work on our Red Collage.

I gave each child a magazine to look through and hunt for red things.

They were to cut them out and make a pile.

Once they had their pile of red things cut out,

they were supposed to THEN glue them on their paper.

This activity is supposed to not only practice cutting,

which most of them need LOTS of,

it helps them with following directions in order and

the importance of organizing their work.

If you know me- I love things organized.

Which being organized is something I RARELY feel,

but I am constantly working at it.

Here they are working hard on their collages:

Roper.

Kasen.

Grady.

Emma.

Zakary.

Lily.

Brayden.

Tead.

Vivi.

They worked hard!

Ta Da!

I went in to check on the little guys- and this is what I found:

Axton between 2 girls!

lol.

I can so see this when these guys are 16!

I love it!

Gavin.

Ms Adria woke up right after lunch.

The kids had just laid down for nap,

so she had some "belly" time with Brayden.

 Brayden is so sweet with the babies!:)

Speaking of lunch, Roper is my special helper today.

One of the special helper's jobs is to help me with lunch.

So Roper put out the forks for me!

Thanks Roper!

We had a yummy first today!

We had homemade pizza, salad with ranch dressing, and tropical fruit!

mmmmmmm.

I hope your day was great!

Ours has been!

Thank the Lord for the rain!

With Love,

Miss Meles

RED!

I almost didn't get to blog today!

Last night, as I was trying to fall asleep, I thought to my self:

"You need to stick some batteries in your camera bag".

Well- I forgot.

So, I figured no blog today. Then I got the bright idea to use my phone!

I just took some random shots at lunch.

Crazy kids.

Grilled Cheese, Wavy Potato Chips, Green Beans, and Applesauce.

These kids ate GOOD!

These boys ate EVERYTHING on their plate!

Great job boys!

Look at those muscles!

That's what happens when you eat all your green beans!

And look who woke up from her nap!

Miss Adria!

Hope your day was great!

FYI-

Since Ms Kathy is in rehab

(for her knee not for being an alcoholic, lol)

we may need some extra help around here!

Miss Misti was on vacation today,

so our neighbor Ms Nancy came over and hung out

today! She was awesome! An old pro!

She will be back next week for a few hours because I will be out

of town on Monday! So if your kids talk of a new person-

you know who and why!

With Love, Miss Melea

Happy Birthday Sweet Gavin!

Wow! A year ago today? You are such a BIG boy!

Yes, I guess I am kinda partial to this little guy.

Not that I love him anymore than the others....

But he IS my nephew!

And he is exactly 1 year old!

Yay Gavin!

Love this boy.

Today concluded our Back to School Week!

We started off with another movie from the Leap Frog Series,

The Talking Words Factory!

Zakary picked it out...

Kasen was my extra special helper today!

He has been my #1 helper all day!

Thanks for your help Kasen!

He is holding the awesome book we read this morning,

I Am Too Absolutely Small for School.

Its about a little girl who is SURE that school is not for her!

After much coaxing, her brother finally makes her realize that

SCHOOL IS COOL!

Every Friday we will be doing our handwriting.

We always write our names and some words or letters

that pertain to that week.

One on one.

Here are the kids working hard-

Lane.

Zakary.

Brayden.

Tead.

Kasen.

Roper.

And Miss Vivian.

At this point, my camera battery is running low!

I tried to get a quick shot of the little guys!

Excuse the burrines!

And then- right before I get pics of the babies, Gavin and Eli.

It dies.

Grrrrrrr.

Of course it does.

So here is a sweet picture of a sweet baby , who I did not get to photograph today!

So sorry Eli!

With Love,

Miss Melea
