learning numbers

We are teaching our kids how to write numbers using fun rhymes each morning...

Half a heart will never do
slide to the right to make a two!

Down to the right
Wait! There's more,
Add a stick man to make a four!

And today's number was 5...
Make his hat,
Make his back,
Make his belly round and fat.

... to which Mary commented loudly, "That looks like my dad!"
:)


Also, today in art we got to use pastels (I really really love art class and have to hold myself back from being absorbed in playing with the materials... whoops). The kids really enjoyed the texture of the pastels and when we asked Ani what they felt like she replied, "Soft and lovely."
