Writing, Smiling, and More Peas, Please!

Today, we worked super hard on our handwriting.

 I love how they concentrate so hard.

 And when they get it- they are SO HAPPY!

I snuck in to check on the little guys.
Gavin is reading the paper with Ms Kathy.
He hangs with her while we are doing our schoolwork.

 The others were playing away.....

 I had to make sure I get everyone's pretty little faces.

 They all want their picture snapped....

 Poor little things....

 I don't think anyone takes their pictures.....

 None of them know how to pose......

 Hahaha! NOT!

 These kids are definitely loved.

 By the way- we do take Gavin out of his seat!haha!
 It seems like any picture I take is of him in his seat!
 But isnt he too cute?!

 These kiddos ate all their peas at lunch today! Way to go! They all got "piglet" stickers! I told them that peas make hair grow on their chest! They were a little worried until they remembered that their daddies have hair on their chest! haha! So proud of them!

For some reason, my close ups of Reese, Tatum and Trinity didn't upload. I will make sure and give them special BLOG treatment tomorrow! Sometimes the uploader on this blog site is contrary! I apologize!

We had a wonderful day! We hope you did too!

With Love, Miss Melea

Snow Days = Lazy Days.

Don't you remember when you were a kid? Snow days were the BOMB! Of course, I was a little to "prissy" to get out in that cold stuff. I liked to admire it from inside the warm house! Normally we would totally be out in the snow at preschool- but the temperature was a whopping 16 degrees!  So we stayed in and hung out. Played in our centers. Ate lunch. Chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, pineapple, and green beans, actually. With our bellies full and a request for this movie:

We laid down to enjoy the movie. I had watched Alvin and the Chipmunks before. Did I just miss the parts where they are "tooting" and burping? Seriously? But, of course, these are the parts where all the preschoolers are laughing uncontrollably! Sooo.....I let them continue watching it. Do you blame me? Look at these faces:

 Okay! Okay! Whatever you want!

 You want covered up? Sure. I would love to cover you up.

 Watch the movie a little longer? Okay. Just a few more minutes.....

Give me a smile like this:

 And you can have whatever you want!

 Sweet kids.

 That love life.

Who do, eventually grow up.

 Way too fast.

 Then- they "need" cell phones, PSP's, laptops, and MONEY. But they will always need us. Even when they are 10.

Love them!

Hope your day has been as great as ours!

Love, Miss Melea

What a day!

I could tell as soon as we sat down to breakfast that this was going to be a "squirly" kind of a day! Some days are just like that around here.

No matter how hard you try to calm them down. Today was one of  those days! What do we do on those days? We PLAY! We keep them occupied. Busy. Entertained. And this is what occupied, busy and entertained looks like:

Hope your day was as good as ours!

With Love, Miss Melea

Welcome tp Preschool Timika!

Introducing Miss Timika!

Look at this face! Isn't she a doll?!

I am so excited to spend more time with her! Timika's mommy and I have been friends since we were Timika's age! I love that I now care for so many of my friends' children! Definitely a bonus!

 Today we made our own version of a good morning sunrise. We even cut GRASS! Grass starts with the letter Gg!

 The little guys did a GLUING project....

 And Mr Gavin was snoozing......

We had a GREAT break!

What a wonderful day back!

Here is My super special helper, Brayden, with the book we read today!

We are learning about the letter G and the #7 this week!

 We did a sound recognition paper together:

 The little guys colored a GORILLA coloring page!

During free time, we had a great time with the new toys and activities!

 Gavin just hung out looking adorable as always!

 Look at these cutie patooties! Looks like trouble to me!
