Well, our first week of preschool is over and we had a great time! The weather was gorgeous so we went on a nature hike gathering materials for our solar prints. The kids had fun exploring the grounds and loved being scientists!
Jordyns class went outside to enjoy the nice weather too! They went on an "un-nature" hike and had to memorize things they saw that didnt belong in nature. I had the pleasure of being the one that hid the items on the trail :) The kids had fun and found almost all of the items...though there is still a purple rubber band missing, so be on the look out! :)
Our school theme this year is moose, so Sharon brought in a moose pelt from home. The kids werent sure what to think of it, but they all enjoyed petting it!
On our drive home yesterday, Jordyn and i spotted these moose...which turned out to be 4 of them lounging in the trees (i could only photograph 2 of them though). And then about 1/4 of a mile from them was this beautiful buck. Thanks for saying hi little guy, now hurry off before hunting season starts!
The weather has been getting cooler quickly (which is one of the reasons we did things outside with our classroom this week), and signs of Fall are popping up all around us!
Its my favorite time of year...and i hope it sticks around for a while!
Meanwhile, we've had another breakin at the house...this time a raccoon! I heard a tin lid hit the floor while i was laying in bed last night around 5 am...so i headed into the kitchen, and sure enough...a huge raccoon was munching down on cat food! Doh! i had to shoe her out of the house with a quilt mat for cutting and ironing (what can i say, ive been sewing in the kitchen working on my mini quilt and it was the closest thing i could grab to use). Once i chased her outside, i closed the window and walked away. I could hear noises outside, and i went back in the bathroom to find her trying to pry open the window! So i shut the second window, the little stinker! I finally climbed back in bed, and heard the screen door rattling. I went back into the kitchen to see her trying to go through the cat door in the screen (even though our big door was shut)! I guess she really liked that cat food! She finally gave up and left, though i think i better be on the look out tomorrow night! And for my friends that are asking...no we are not running a soup kitchen for the wildlife over here :)
