"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KIRSTEN!!!!"

Good Evening, Friends!!!!

Today was an especially great deal of fun, as we had much to celebrate!!

Thank you, Debbie, for the "ginormous" foam stickers -- the kids made crowns to match Kirsten's, continued to decorate jack-o-lantern cut-outs, (for eventual display), and created artwork of their own choosing -- the cupcakes were delicious -- and, of course, we took lots of photos!! :)

Liz is truly a natural with children, and, sang, with the Butterflies and Puppies, "I Have a Little Turtle" and "Today is Monday" -- along with Kelly and our little ones, she worked on finishing-up the tale of "The Royal Family".

I read "There Was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Bat" -- ("imagine that!!") -- written by Lucille Colandro and illustrated by Jared Lee and "Three Friends/Tres Amigos", at John's request, written by Cristina Brusca and Tona Wilson and illustrated by Cristina Brusca.

At Activity Time, we continued collage work, played with old-fashioned wooden toys, did puzzles, read books and more!!

Everyone was outside, shortly after lunch, just as our friends from the LABB Program arrived, with their new Teacher, Tina Johnson.

We have begun decorating for the season, which you may have noticed -- I tend to get very carried away with holidays and festivities of all kinds!!

It is really a joy to teach a group of children that thoroughly enjoy stories, singing and dancing and art projects!!

Tomorrow presents us with another opportunity to make positive differences in the world!!

Love Miss Peacock XOXO :) :)
