Molly on the Playground

Molly went with her preschool class to visit the local kindergarten. After joining the class for a story, they played on the playground...

Snails

A few months ago Clara was playing with play-dough at school and announced that she had made some snails! She proceeded to teach her classmates how to make snails, and convinced her teacher to mount them and hang them on the wall. A few days (or weeks?) later she told her teachers it was time to take the snails home.

Or so the story goes.

Later, Molly enjoyed showing me another snail.

Double Day - Other things

And here are some pictures of other things we did to get ready for, and to celebrate Double Day. For fun I went to the girls' classes to talk about Double Day. The big topic at school this spring was "All about Me" - learning about their bodies and them selves in different ways. Clara's class has been having parents come in and talk about the kid, read a story, or do some activity. So for her class we actually made a model of a goat for the kids to try milking, since that's something unique about Clara (and something Clara loves). For Molly's class we had fun learning about (or starting to learn about) the concept of "Double".

Double day - Temescal

And here are more pictures of us playing at Lake Temescal on Double Day... including pictures of the duck that tried to eat our dinner!

Double Day Sisters

Here the girls are, ready to go to school on Double Day (May 13th, 2010), as matching as they can get.

Clara & Simone

Clara's buddy Simone came over to play (back in May). They're buddies from daycare - even though Simone is about 6 months older than Clara they've always had a great time together, as you can see. Too bad for us, Simone is moving to Canada this summer.
