MG's Art Exhibition

On Friday, MG had an art exhibition in her classroom to celebrate the completion of their artist unit. It was really impressive to hear all that the kids had learned and to see their masterpieces. Here's a sample of some of MG's work:

My Sweet Children

Snow!

We had some unexpected snow today and enjoyed a day off from the routine. This morning, the first word out of Sam's mouth was "WOWWWW!" It was so fun to experience the snow through little eyes. We even tried to make a snowman with our neighbors, but I think it ended up looking more like a snow blob with eyes, a nose, and arms. Being from the South, it was still magical!
