Book Club

Book Club on Thursdays is becoming more popular - I see new faces and I am delighted!
We read Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young. I made a big elephant (sort of like a puzzle) and seven mice from felt. All the rest of the pictures were Michelle's toys and it worked well. Afterwards we played a game - I put an animal in the bag and each child had to guess who it was.

I love grapes!















Moms chatting
















This time I decided not to do arts and crafts after the book and I felt like it was a big mistake. Children really enjoyed arts the previous times.

Book Club

This Thursday we had Book Club again!!!!!

It was good - read a book A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni using a lot of pictures and acting the story out (I'm not sure how much of the story children understand but I know that even if they don't understand a word it is good for them to hear another language). After the story we had side walk colors (1/2 cup potato flour; 1/2 cup water; a little color) and kids enjoyed it a lot!

"Where should I draw next with my favorite black paint?! " (Uriel)
















Lee decided not to waist the paint




















Orgil understood quickly




















"Michaly, don't even think about it!! Ha-ha"




















While the big brothers are getting messy with the paints, the little ones are getting messy with the food (as usual...)




















"I'm hungry!"

I have been dreaming about it for a long time now and we had our first meeting last Thursday - it was good!
