Making a Difference

Harmony was selected as a student that is making a difference in her school district.  We are so proud of her and very grateful to David Gerbstadt and Mayor Tom Micozzie for their generosity and time.

Student Mayor

Harmony had an assignment in school where she had to reply to the question "What can you do to make the world a better place?"  Harmony wrote, "I can help the mayor with his problems."

So, we contacted the mayor to see how Harmony could help him.  Mayor Tom Micozzie said that he would meet with Harmony, talk to her about the current needs of the community, introduce her to a local business person and have her sit on council for an evening.  Over the next few months, he made a visit to her school and another neighboring school.  Harmony's outreach to the mayor encouraged him to do some more outreach in schools.

Science and Fashion

A chance opportunity at a fabric store lead to Harmony being asked to be a model.  The project was a concept where science and fashion meet.  It was a perfect fit for Harmony's interests. She became a part of Team Epic thanks to Nancy. She had been so interested in how the body works that she even had a placemat that had the human body on it. Then she got to be a model.  Some of the other models asked her if she wanted to be a model when she got older, but she said, "I've already done that." Her interests are certainly wide and varied.

Earth Week

Today we worked on projects for Earth day. We talked about the weather and keeping our Earth clean. We traced the word trash and colored a trash can. We also talked about how we need to put trash in the trashcan. I loved the alphabet game, playing outside and reading stories with Ms. Lynn.

Save our Earth

Today we worked on the letter T and traced the word Tree.  We also colored a picture of a tree.  I enjoyed the great day outside, playing the alphabet game and reading stories with Ms. Lynn.

Egg-cellent Work

I spent a lot of time coloring today. I love to color.  One of the things I colored was an Easter Egg. I also enjoyed playing outside, dancing, and riding bikes today.

Peter Cottontail

Today we painted Easter Eggs and we learned a song about Peter Cottontail. The weather was nice so we played outside too. I was so tired from my weekend that I took a long nap today.

Music

Today I loved dancing at the dance party.  I also love playing pretend and cooking outside with my girl friends. We also had show and tell and I always look forward to that.

Shopping

I had a great time pretending to go shopping with my friend Vivian. I also loved playing on the slides outside. I made some dot art in class today too. It's Ms. Lynn's birthday, but she is out today.  I hope that she is having fun!

Music time

Today my friends and I got to pick the songs during circle time.  It was great! In art, we traced the letter R and colored a picture of a Robot. Then we cut it out and pasted it on to a piece of construction paper.

Shakers

In art today, we made shakers. I love to make music with it.  We also colored music notes and played outside.

Irish Dance Party

Today we practiced writing words such as Green Shamrock and rainbow.  I love looking for four-leaf clovers with Mommy, but I still haven't found one yet. I know I will someday. We danced to Irish music today in our friday dance party.

Getting Ready for St. Patrick's Day

The theme this week is Shamrocks and Rainbows.  We made handprint rainbows today. It was so much fun. I love rainbows. It was so beautiful today that we got to spend a lot of time outside.

Irish Potatoes

Today we made Irish potatoes and I tried them.  I really didn't like them, but Ms. Lynn was so happy that I tried. I also got a smily face on my board at home for trying something new. I enjoyed playing with puzzles, boards and cubes.

Hopping and Skipping

Today I had a great time hopping and skipping with my friends. I also played with dolls and played house. Of course, I enjoyed painting and coloring today too.

Put Me in the Zoo

We talked about the great weather today. We went over class rules, shapes, colors, the calendar and flash cards at Circle time.  We also talked about Dr. Seuss. We made pictures using dot art and colored a picture of Put Me in the Zoo.  That's one of Mommy's favorite stories.

Outerspace

Today we practiced writing the words, Moon Stars, and Planets. We also had a super fun dance party.  Fridays are the best!

Dance Party!

In Circle time today, we talked about what we may do over the weekend. We practiced our writing skills today with word like heart and love.  We had a fun Friday dance party. I love to dance!

Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's day!  Daddy got me an awesome card and some stickers. We played Eye Spy during circle time today and that was great! We went outside to enjoy the day, but also had a super special party.  Mommy helped me write the Valentine's for my friends and brought in a treat for the party.  I had a great day with my family and friends.
