A typical friday

Today we had Pre-preschool, and we decided that after next week, we will be doing a 'trial run' for the last 4 classes, with no parents in with the teacher and helper.  Hannah didn't need me there from the beginning, she is very independent, much like her daddy. So it is bitter sweet, she officially no longer needs me and is growing up to be a wonderful, independent little girl.  

The Teacher that we have worked with in ECFE, who would of been her Preschool teacher in the fall will not be living here so I will admit, I feel a little lost.  I liked the fact that we have known the teacher since Hannah was 10 months old, so for about 3 years.  That brought me comfort.  Now we have to figure out, send her to a Preschool where we don't know the teacher because she will be new to the district, send her to LS, or a private one.  I like to have a plan, need to know what is happening, this isn't going my way.

We don't do much in the way of lessons on Friday as we already do Pre-preschool in the morning but she asked for the 'Last letter game'.  This has been hard to grasp, she always wants to listen for the first sound of a word. This game above, is for the last letter.   She was starting to get it.  She also would get frustrated about 7-8 pictures in, today, she plugged away and finished!  

Just us playing outside.  She felt the need to wear a touque today, it was 60* outside...

Our garden.  We just can't seem to stay out of it :)  We have potatoes planted along the long edge.  2 rows worth:) Then on the short end,  we have a row of red onion, yellow onion, leek and beets.   We will be adding peppers, tomatoes, another row of beets and some other veggie that I have never tried, but looked interesting.  We will be adding a second garden of cucumbers, baby and regular pumpkins, acorn squash, and zucchini.  Hannah is requesting a butterfly garden as well :)
