Playing catch-up

We've been so busy studying weather and getting ready for Valentine's Day (not to mention Monday morning's chapel service!) that it's been harder to find the time to blog. Here's a hodgepodge of photos, showing what we've been doing and catching you all up on our fun!

A live version of "Spot the Differences" -- we changed the winter attire of our Child of the Day, and the students had to observe what was different each time.

We were visited by a pediatric dentist's office--we learned how many teeth we have, how many we will have, and the correct ways to brush!

After our visit with the dentist, we pretended our paintbrushes were toothbrushes, and we "brushed" these yellow teeth until they were white!

During letter P week, we spread pink paper on the floor and popped popcorn! The children were so funny--one little boy even tried to catch it in his mouth as it flew out of the popper!

Sweet friends!

During Q week, as we read the Bible story about Queen Esther we realized that Hickory Valley has its very own Queen Esther! (She truly is the queen; if it weren't for her, we'd all be lost!) Armed with crown, a cape, and a toy sword and crown, we invited her into the gym for a special coronation ceremony! 

Finally, I love this shot. I was reading a story to these cozy kiddos on the rug (top photo). Next time I looked up, we had a new "student" lying on her tummy! Mrs. Connie is so silly!
