A Living Family: Mamatography 2012: A Year in Pictures. Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Week 7: February 9-15. After the finger paint dried, I thought we'd try gluing. I thought it was interesting that she put them in a line, only liked the poms (not the puzzle pieces or the tissue paper), and she ended up taking everything off because she wanted it back in the box. Woke up, saw the book and decided to read alone for a bit. Holding hands and "dancing.". I "misplaced" the camera. My fellas loving each other up.

I made a duck counting activity to go with the beautifully and simply illustrated Eric Carle book 10 Little Rubber Ducks. All dressed up to go outside. Obviously her dad and I care a great deal about well put together and coordinated outfits. Making a robot.this is difficult to figure out how to do we decided. Someone decided finger painting time wasn't finished yet. My first real walk with baby.

Big sister gets something that resembles a kiss well enough that she feels elated to the point of stillness. We also each had childhoods with much time spent building with legos. Still, we'll see if the mini lego wall idea will become a reality. There is a baby who will be crawling about before we know it. Made the mess.

Teacher Tom: The Little Red Hen Is A Jerk

http://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/little-red-hen-is-jerk.html

Teaching and learning from preschoolers. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. The Little Red Hen Is A Jerk. When it's going well, we're approaching each day, each project, each activity as an experiment, if for nothing else than to stave off the bane of rote. For both the kids and me. It was in the spirit of this that I read The Little Red Hen. At our closing circle. To summarize for those few of you who don't know this old folk tale:.

The only (clear) picture I took due to the hubbub of my parents coming to visit. She thought about it but said she didn't know. "Beans! He said. We all had a good laugh. My daughter chuckled along, too. You know, because everyone else was. Then she took off running in those ridiculous "walking shoes" for half a block.

When my daughter sleeps, the little pigtail holders that hold her hair come out. The combination of sleeping and the shape of the hair after it's been put up wet and dried that way makes morning hair hilarious some days. My daughter wanted to take a picture. Of her brother. No, of her bowls. Looks like bowls it was.and her brother. I made it to the end of the day without takin...

Classes, Lessons, School. Cognitive and Language Development. Social / Emotional Development. The Problem With Cute Kids. On Dec 8th, 2011. We often think that children are cutest when they are most intent and serious about what they are doing. Patting a mud pie, for example. They act as if it were important. How satisfying for us to feel we know better. To touch these men of short stature had they been children, even though she didn’t know them from Adam. Is every child’s round head ours to touch? And y...
