Preschool


I feel bad that I've never dedicated a post to Natalie's preschool. A few friends and I started a co-op preschool a few months ago. There are six kids and it's two hours long, twice a week. It has been wonderful for Natalie. She would be dying if she didn't have her very own school to go to. She only wishes hers were every day like Lizzie's.

I have actually really enjoyed teaching. Well...I enjoy my weeks off more, but it is very fun to plan the activities and to see the kids enjoying them. It makes me realize how many things I could have been doing with my kids before that are really simple yet educational and fun.

For one day that I taught, we were learning about eyes and the sense of sight. For our snack we made veggie faces. I thought Natalie's was really clever. She said she made a clown:

Some of the kids:
(small numbers since we were missing the three triplet girls who were sick)
I need to be better about recording some of the fun activities we do. The irony of this post is that the only reason I'm writing this right now is that we are having a sick (coughs/colds) day around here and the girls are both missing school. They are resting watching a movie. I have to admit--it feels nice not to be running around.

Looks so fun! It really is fun to play educational activities, isn't it?

How fun! Sorry your girls are sick. I can't imagine teaching preschool. Well, I did once before and hated it. Too many crafts! But I bet you're awesome at it.
