B is for butterfly

We're coming to the end of our little preschool group and it sure has been fun! Joseph and Faith can hardly imagine what school is like without Jonathan, Eli, and Morgan!

This week the focus was on B for butterfly. I tried to make it fun since none of us are all that motivated to work hard on academics right now. So, the kids got to play Elefun. They enjoyed catching the butterflies!

Superhero Birthday Party

Last week I got to be the photographer at our friend's 3rd birthday party! It was a very fun party with a superhero theme! The kids each got a mask and had to fight ninjas (balloons)! My kids brought their ninjas home with them and kept fighting them for the rest of the day.

J for Juice

Last week the letter of the week in preschool was J! It was especially fun for Joseph and Jonathan! They said, "It's OUR day!!" I agreed with them that the best names start with J! ;)

She didn't sign a permission slip or anything, so maybe we shouldn't call it an official "field trip." The kids had a lot of fun!

Joseph's friends

Joseph is a very social boy and loves to interact with the boys in the village. The problem is that there's a language barrier. They don't understand him when he speaks to them in English. I guess we need to work on teaching him Arabic!

The other day he was at the center of this group of boys. He didn't mind being the center of attention! They were trying to practice their English with him. I told them to teach him Arabic!
