Wednesday Quote of the Day

~absence makes the heart grow fonder!~

Today, I truly realized how much I missed the little ones in my class and how much they missed me while I was away on my two-day vacation.

A cute story: A midnight Snack

This is a wonderfully written and illustrated story about a little boy who wants a midnight snack. His mother makes a cake that he is itching to have more of though he really should be in bed sleeping. This rhyming tale has suspense and a wonderful ending!

Four day weekends!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo!!!!! hopefully wont make for a stressed out 3 day work week! :D

Eeeeep! It is almost over!!!

So, I met with my cda representative and had my interview and test. Alhamdulillah, all is well that ends well :D the test was pretty straight forward, mostly answers that are put into practice everyday in my classroom. A few caught me off guard but just a few alhamdulillah. The oral part of the test was okay too, I wont know until she sends off my stuff to D.C. and the wait I hear is between a couple of weeks to a couple of months. The only hic-cup was I was missing one of my compentency statements but alhamdulillah, my sister sent it to me by email from home! so, insha Allah, will see how things go.....I'm really excited!!

Hats and Headdress Around the World!

This week, Hats and Headdresses!!! We started this week with some really cool hats! It is fun when parents participate by contributing to class props. Today, the children got to play with some pictures of different cultural hats and headdresses, I also hung pictures around the room close for them to see but just out of reach of their demolition hands :D We read books with hats in them, we dressed up in hats during circle time and had a hat-masquerade around the room to "Barney and Friends" (yeah, you read me correctly!). I even made a book with cultural hats for the children to thumb through. :) We had quite a bit of fun today......I wonder what is in store for us tomorrow? :D :D :D
