We had a great week. The snow was falling like crazy on Tuesday. The kids were nervous in the playground at first. There was so much snow that the sled sunk as I began to pull the kids. Eva was brave and ventured out to the end of the playground. She made the first tracks out to the houses. We we very impressed with her determination to get to the house and open the door. When we made it into the classroom we celebrated Drew's birthday.
Then it was cookie making time. Debi and I decided that the kids needed to really make homemade cookies. We had a small group that gathered around to take turns adding the ingredients. The girls seemed to be the only ones interested until we turned on the mixer. Everyone wanted to try this. The first class was in charge of making the dough and the others need to roll out the dough cut out the cookies and bake them. Needless to say it was a fun and messy afternoon. The girls in our third class were covered in flour when they went home. They were machines rolling and cutting out cookies.
Wednesday despite all of the snow the roads were clear so we were at school! We had a good time in the snow we made some snow angles, pulled the sled and some kids cleared off the slides it was really fun! Once we were back inside we had a cookie frosting station set up. The kids enjoyed spreading the frosting but the sprinkles held the real magic. Almost everyone decorated cookies.
On Thursday we had another birthday. Noora celebrated her birthday with us. We headed back out into the snow. The sun was shining so we were able to stay out a bit longer and Jake's brother Gabriel joined us and pulled everyone on the sled.
We set up our "mailboxes" and had the children pass out their treats. It was fun.
I think we all enjoyed the week of fun but I know everyone is ready to brush their teeth. So this week we will work on teeth brushing, hair combing and nose blowing. I am looking forward to this. I know that the children are excited to use the new mirror that we mounted near the sink.
Yes if you were wondering Ms.Debi was not in school on Wednesday and Thursday her son was sick. Ms. Diane was able to work with us those two days. Thanks Diane! Your children gave her a warm welcome.
Have a great week!
