Countdown

49 days until we have a "blue" Christmas:

& 97 days until Paris:

Also, we are no longer moving out of our apartment [not right now anyway].

Kindergarten

     Realization: it has been over one whole month without a single update... and we apologize. We have been very busy and this blog has completely slipped our minds. So here's an update...

     The container of supplies that was supposed to arrive for Nicole's classroom before school started FINALLY arrived this past Friday. That's right... 1 whole month after the start of school, K-5 got supplies!! So, needless to say, Nicole is no longer embarresed to show pictures of her classroom. Prior to getting these supplies, there were no toys, very few teaching manipulatives, no bookshelves, no carpet, etc. The students were playing with borrowed junk toys for one month [including naked barbies with no heads].

We refer to Nicole's room as "The Christmas Room" [reason being should be self-explanatory]

 

Front of the classroom

Those leaves will soon be hanging on the empty tree you can see above

[oh...and that door is to our bathroom]

Nicole's desk

 The poem in the center of the door says:

"We are a box of Crayons, Each one of us unique, But when we get together, The picture is complete!"

Brand new listening center!

Reading area still needs a carpet and more books...

A better look at the Fall tree

No more broken barbie dolls!!

It's too foggy to tell...but there is actually an ocean-view from this window!

     More [frequent] updates to come again soon. Perhaps we will tell you all about our upcoming move next. :) [Yep, November will be our last month living in the apartments pictured in our previous post]
