A busy week Part II

This Thursday Enoch's preschool was at our house. Last month we had a field trip planned on my teaching day, so lucky me. I've started to get things ready for preschool a while back, I wrote out the outline of what I'm gonna do with the kids. Put some books on hold in the library. Printed out tracing letter page. One thing that kept me switching ideas was the crafty thing in the end. I eventually came up with making fish with a paper plate then coloring it. We even used the paper plates to eat our snacks before we cut them up. Hit two birds with one stone, I like that.

Here is the picture of my teaching table:

Notice the paper plate with drawings on it? I drew on every plate. The kids are supposed to cut the triangle out and pin it as a tail.

My letter of the day was F and the number was 6. For letter F we read books about it. For number 6, I had kids count 6 gold fish and crackers at a time. They loved that and were really obedient too. We also had a circle time for song singing, then we jumped on the trampoline in the end.

I didn't get a whole group picture while I was teaching, only realized it when I was done and kids were doing their own things and getting distracted. So here is one that only a few left by the table:

Kids are so different, their attention span is different too. I also told them to write their names on their paper and fish. Some of them did. Enoch being one of them, but his writings were still not regulated, meaning they were in different fonts:)

Some of them went to play with toys after a while. Enoch's preschool now has 6 kids (Michael not included), but in a month we'll have only 4. One of my dearest friends is moving away. I'm really sad about it!!

Peter napped for a good 70 mins, giving me enough time to teach and play. It was great!


Friday we went to the "Zoo Boo" with Michael's preschool group. Although we were all divided up, and never got to meet up together since the zoo was so crowded. We just agreed to do our own things and have fun. I was pretty bummed that the "Zoo Boo" was exactly the same as last year but apparently kids didn't care and remember at all, they still had tons of fun. By the end of it, we had a super super fun experience that I've never experienced before, actually I'm not sure if anybody ever experienced it before, so that made the zoo trip totally worth it. Here are the pictures, you have to connect them to see what happened:

Then the lizard fell backwards down. So funny! I actually acted it out to show Sam many many times at home, and still thinks that it was so cool! 

 I mean how many times did you see a lizard does this in the zoo? I've never seen it before. Maybe you are luckier than me. I don't know what triggered it to do this. Maybe Enoch? Maybe the light? Maybe nothing, it got bored. It actually did this twice as I was watching. First time I didn't have time to take a picture, I was hoping it would do a second time and it did!

Anyway, this week has been super tiring for me but my boys loved it. Kids are very easy to entertain outside, not inside.

Here are some pictures of the photo shoot Sam did last week:

This one everybody just did their own thing which was kind of funny.

Peter is getting cuter and cuter every day! He babbles all the time. He smiles at you when you talk to him. He watches really closely what his big brothers are doing. He loves to hang out with them in their room. He always tries to grab my nose and pull my hair. At the multiple night waking times, I have to remind myself how cute he is and how much I love him.
