We've been having a lot of fun here at pre-school these past two weeks. We started with the cliche "autumn" theme but ended it with a bang. We had been talking about certain hibernating animals and how they prepare prior to hibernation (of course I had to somehow work animals into the lessons, leaves and apples just weren't cutting it for you). So the last day I set up a new sensory bin filled with dirt (cocoa powder) and plenty of hibernating things. You practiced using different spoons and scoops, transferring objects and dirt from one container to another, all while discussing the ins and outs of hibernation. You two had a ball, and even helped me mop the floors afterward (another reason I am grateful to be teaching you at home- I doubt you would learn certain skills like mopping at a regular pre-school!)
We also had a fun surprise to end our week- gifts from Nana!

| wolves and foxes for Luthien |
 |
| And a very important "transitional object" for sleeping for Bastian- a kitty, or "ditty" as you call him. |
 |
| Bastian, totally enchanted by the picture of Nana You kept hugging the kitty and staring at the letter/picture she sent, alternating between saying "Nana" and "ditty." I can't wait to see what is in store for next week! Love you both, Mama |
