Nevi seems to be settling into preschool at Kiddie Kopia quite nicely now. She comes home most days with new and fun art projects that she's completed with her class. We take pictures of the ones that we can't hang on the fridge and cover the fridge with the ones we can. Most days, Robb and Nevi have to inform me of what the art project is (unidentifiable) - the supplies are made mostly from food to embrace the full sensory experience for the kiddos, and to keep them out of harms way. Most of the art is of animals and themed with the season: *the pink frosting/chocolate and butterscotch chips on the paper plate is a pig, *the paper pig and paper squirrel are pretty cute *she made a Family Tree last week with many family names on each leaf (my personal favorite) *acorns made of some sort of wafer/pretzel/chocolate combo on a plate. There's more on our fridge that I will photograph soon. She really does seem to be enjoying school more and more and while the weather is nice, the class goes to the park 1/2 block away to add exercise to their day. Robb told me a story last week of how he arrived a few minutes early to pick Nevi up and the kiddos were walking single file on the side walk, back to Kiddie Kopia from the park. They were on the OPPOSITE side of the street so anytime the kiddos cross the street, Miss Kimmie and Miss Jeannie have the kiddos line up side by side on the sidewalk before they cross the street. Then they all walk across at the same time. While the teachers were organizing this street crossing, Robb said that all the kids were quiet and looking at the next kid over to be sure they were straight. Nevi however, was singing and dancing throughout the whole process, just in her own little musical world. I laughed hysterically for quite a while after hearing this story. I can just see it!
