Wonderful Wednesday!

Look WHOOOOOO's wearing their owl shirts!  Jacob and Noah gave them these shirts for Christmas during the exchange!  They didn't plan to both wear them today, so it was a pleasant surprise! 

Since we are talking about animals this week these to cuties decided that they wanted to make animal bracelets.  I think between the two of them they made about 20!  I love seeing little kids getting crafty! 

Also, we have a sub in our classroom this week, Mrs. Aderholt, she is filling in for Ms. Shaide who is living it up in San Diego!  We knows she is having a great time, but we still miss her!

Watch Dog Dad and Other Fun

Here are some of our Little Hoots eating lunch....We have learned to open up all of our lunch by ourselves!  YAY HOOTS!  We are getting bigger! 

Jessica brought these Jelly Beans for the Letter J!  We have been earning our Jelly Beans by doing nice things and staying on green!  We also did some taste testing of some of the different kinds.  We used our sense of taste to try to figure out which kind it was!

Today we had a Watch Dog Dad!  He is the dad of Olivia!  He came and played with us and helped us write our names!  We were so glad that he came to our classroom!  We love our Watch Dog Dads!

BOSTON!

I know some of you have been wondering why your children keep talking about BOSTON!  Well, I would like you to meet the newest member of the Strom family, Boston Eli Strom!  He is a cocker spaniel and he was very abused and was sent to a vet to get better and a wonderful lady named Leslie rescued him from being put to sleep....He lived with her until she could find him a home!  Well, I was sold the minute I saw that sweet little face!  He has been so much fun to have!  We named him Boston because my husband and I are huge Red Sox fans and we went to Boston this past year!  His middle name Eli was the name that he was given at the vet so we wanted to remember that name!  Can you believe anyone would ever abuse such a sweet face?

Since we are talking about animals this week, I thought I would share my sweet baby with you!  I am sure this isn't his last appearance on this blog!!!

Fun Interpreter about Animals!

Today we had a man come and talk to us about animals that live in URBAN areas and animals that live in RURAL areas!  We also learned that some animals live in both URBAN and RURAL areas!  He showed us some skins of some animals and he even brought in a real turtle for us to see!  He is from Pinnacle Mountain State Park....they will be coming out once a week for 4 weeks to share with us new information on animals!  Isn't it nice that we have places in our community that do this for free and it so educatinal!  I couldn't help but think about how fun he would be a birthday party especially with boys!  They love that sort of thing!

Jessica is our Hoot of the Week!!!

Jessica is our Hoot this week!  She just turned 5 years old.  She loves to play with horses!  She also loves to go to Orange Leaf to get vanilla ice cream.  She doesn't like to put any toppings on....wish I was more like that HAHA!  She loves to draw at the art center and write words!  We love having Jessica in our classroom!
