This is a Tuesday "Slice of Life" for Two Writing Teachers. Check out their website for lots more reflections on teaching.
Almost one whole month has gone by since I last posted and I don't like this at all!
There have been so, so, so many things I have wanted to share…
and now I hardly know where to begin.
Should I share my excuse -
my son Keith got married just before Thanksgiving! ?
How do I describe how busy this made me, how it filled my head, hands, and heart?
How much fun we all had?
How incredible it was to see my oh so serious son smiling all day long?
How beautiful Mara and he looked together?
How cold and perfect their outdoor ceremony, in the woods?
Should I share how fabulous it was?
No, the wedding is no topic for a blog about early childhood!
Should I share how several preschoolers told their families that I missed school because I was getting married?
Well, that's not much of a share!
What if I shared some photos of our fun during these last four weeks?

| We love playing doctor in the dramatic play area. |
 |
| We love to work with recyclables and tape. |
 |
| We made a fun new alphabet line - covering letters with glue and dipping them in sand. |
 |
| We love building trains and traveling to make believe places. |
 | ||
We love, love, love to run around on our big field and play games.
|
 |
| We had fun yarn bombing the tree branches! |
 |
| More yarn bombing! |
 |
| Still more yarn bombing! |
 |
| We have begun our new exploration of found objects and are loving this, too! |
That's all I'll share for now…I have written a short post, and I have rekindled this blog…I will share more in the days ahead.
It is nice to be back!

Wait, one last thing…
Sure, it's not early childhood…but once upon a time, a short while ago, they were preschoolers! Here are two photos from the happy wedding day!

I love that line, "but once upon a time, a short while ago., So true. So fast. Beautiful slice!
ReplyDeleteLove hearing all about your latest 'things' Maureen, the pictures tell of much joy, especially seeing your sons together. That groom looks very serious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful wedding. I'm glad you're back and shared pictures since I missed seeing you at NCTE. (I can't believe how close we were to your home!)
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing pictures of the workings of your classroom. What a wonderful place to be a child and learn!
