Elephant Ears

Connor is LOVING his new daycare/preschool! His teacher does so many fun and creative things with the kids. Each week they study a letter and do MANY fun activities that correspond with that letter. Some examples:

A- they went and picked apples, made apple stamps, made homemade applesauce, created an apple tree out of construction paper, etc.

B-they did some fun activities with bubbles, talked about bears and butterflies, made a bird (a parrot) out of colorful paper and feathers, etc.


C-they made a letter C with cotton balls, made a cactus with tissue paper and pieces of uncooked spaghetti (which I borrowed last week when my class studied the desert!), etc.


D- they made a D with polka-dots on it, cut diamond shapes out of foil, played a game called the Dozen Game, labeled parts of a daisy, etc.


This week's letter is E! On Monday they made an egg-celent egg head with eyes, on Tuesday they took eggs and rolled them in paint and then rolled them onto paper to make a picture, and today they made elephant ears! They actually made the kind you eat and can wear on your head! So much fun!


You may recall that Connor really likes elephants...a lot! Apparently today was his favorite day so far at Ms. Shana's! Mom couldn't be happier for him. Tomorrow is show and tell and Connor is taking Horton the elephant and his mold of an elephant that we got from the mold-o-rama at the Brookfiled zoo!

This is just another example of how God makes a way when there seems to be no way and how he always has our good in mind when he says no to things working out the way we may want them to. I was so worried (it now seems to silly) about where Connor would be this year and not only is he in a Christian environment that is 5 minutes from the house, but we have been blessed beyond my expectations. God is so good!
