LHS Sisters (May 2011)

LHS (May 2011)

Back in May we had a wonderful time at the Lawrence Hall of Science with our own personal tour guide, Nona. :)

Last Day of K

Molly's last day of Kindergarten is today. She picked out a super special outfit for the day - this beautiful white dress (possibly a former flower girl dress?) that Audrey gave us a while back. Here she is ready to go (the first pictures she looks a little serious because she's waiting for Clara to finish a temper tantrum, but once she was in the spotlight again she warmed up...).

Little Red Hen (& quilt)

Yesterday Molly's class did a performance of the "Little Red Hen" story. It was super cute. Molly was a Rooster & had been practicing all week.

They also showed their quilts, which they've been working on for a few weeks (with a lot of help from parent volunteers).

And yes, Ms. Kim is very very pregnant! Due in two weeks, but feels ready right now.

The whole class (almost) with teachers & aids
Back row: Mr. McWhorter, Ms. Kim, Ms. McWhorter
Standing: Skylar, Justin, James, Molly, Solaemon, Keila, Stella
Kneeling: Hamzaa, Aiden, Otis, Anthony, Chaidan, Joseph
Sitting ("criss cross applesauce"): Rose, Haadiya, Vaughn, Isabella, Bobby

Molly's quilt.
Panels include: creek study; self portrait; Little Red Hen; hand prints; drawing (note that the drawing below the green handprint is a drawing of the quilt, with a drawing of the quilt on that quilt - very "meta"); fish prints; Stone Soup; and the seasons (trees). 

Picture Roundup (Nov 2010 - Feb 2011)

I'm trying to catch up on all the photos. Well, probably not all of them, but at least some of them. So here are a random assortment of photos from November 2010 through February 2011. Enjoy!

Molly's writing center piece about our trip to the snow: "I went to the snow with my friends it was a to [two] levule [level]" - house that is. The picture shows the cars (stuck in the snow?), and the icicles. And the huge snow drifts.
