~ N, O, P ~

My poor blog has been suffering because of moving preparations and everything that's been going on, but I finally pulled this post together! It takes me a long time to get these school posts together....but here we go!

N week:
during Nuh week they talked about noses, nurses, numbers, nuthatches and nutcrackers. They ate nachos, mixed nuts, fig newtons, nutella (mmm) and nectarines.

Here's some noodle art he made that week. Cool huh? Noodles glued to some pretty hip paper.
By the time we took the picture he had forgotten all about it. He's like, "what's this??"

O week:
During this week they talked about opossums (we know all about those out here in Missouri!), orangutans, octopuses (octopi?) and sea and river otters. I love how they talk about animals. The kids learn all sorts of things about them like where they live, what they eat and if they're warm blooded or cold blooded, etc. It's fun to quiz him about the animals when he gets home.
During this week they ate oatmeal cookies and oranges. I know they had more snacks than that, but that's all I could get out of Max that week.
Some O art:

This is my favorite. It's an octopus. Isn't it great??

P week:

During puh week(s--I think there were two) they talked about polar bears, peacocks, prairie dogs, panda bears, plants, penguins, porcupines, puffins and tree pangolins (wow, what the heck are those?! I need to go look them up I guess.)
They snacked on pistachios, pretzels, pineapple, pickles, peppers, plums, pecans, papayas and had a pizza party.
Here's some P art for you.

So much fun. I love especially hearing about what foods they eat for each letter. We have the kids sign up for a letter of the week snack but they bring pretty normal stuff. I like the creativity Max's teacher shows. And I love the picture where Max is holding the octopus painting with his chin. It gives him this little double chin and he kind of looks like a really adorable version of Chris Farley. Really adorable version I said. :-) I had a good chuckle about it.

What a great preschool!

Today, Isobel said that none of the boys in her class like her, sad huh?

Myself, I favor the peacock.

And as for what Carie posted - what stupid boys those are. Isobel needs to know that they can't appreciate her because she is of far superior substance!
