Check out these pictures that Jen took this week.

Playing the drums!

Hi Everyone-
I had a busy week attending meetings and trainings and we were fortunate to have Michael stand in. He teamed up with Azariah's drum machine and orchestrated some great playing for story time. Note how quiet and attentive the students are! Very impressive!

Also, check out the calender and the letter of the week posters in the background. You can just make out the "Spongebob" which came from the whole pineapple discussion we had this week.

'Nuff said, enjoy the drum videos . . .

Zola's turn-

Seokyun's turn-

Justice's turn-

(I like the part where Mike tells everyone to put a marshmallow in their mouth-such a great way to say "please be quiet").

Have a great weekend!

The day before spring break and we had a great time playing and socializing in the gym with the mats. What fun!

Playing together

4/3/09

Playing with trains. I was so excited to see your children playing so well together. I appreciate how intensely they're approaching their work, the way they play so close to each other and respect each other's space, and the way they're all respecting each other's "visions" for how they want the tracks and trains to go. This is harder than it looks. As they learn to do this well they're building the skills to take it to the next level in kindergarten.
