Art Show @ FUMC Preschool

Joel's school had an art show last night to display some of the art they have done thus far this year. The theme was 'A Bug's life'. The hors d'oeuvres were gummy worms, bug ghram cracker cookies, and more bug snacks. It was fun. Here are a few pics.


The bug take home project. Each child was sent home with 3 small paper plates and asked to make a bug. There were alot of amazing bugs!!


Joel's is the lady bug. We glued felt to the plates and stuffed the bottom plate to make the lady bug puffy. We covered the other plate with felt and used brads to make moveable wings. This was a fun project!


Joel's Polar Bear project.


Joel's proud to be an American project. He is pround to be an American because he can play with Autobots and Transformers. (imagine that)


Joel's class made aliens. His is the one in the middle with 3 legs.


Joel's turkey is the one facing the right.


The entire school's bugs. Each child had a bug with their face on it. The teachers and staff did an amazing show putting it together.


Joel sitting on the pew waiting for us. I had put texture paste in his hair to make it stand up...and he pushed it all back down..except the pieces in the back lol

Christmas Program - Christmas Around the world

Joel's first Christmas Program was last week. He held the stage down in his area...he didn't sing and barely moved. His class was from Hawaii and sang a Hawaiian Christmas song.




Who was the guy from Star Trek that also did Rainbow Reader on LPB...is Joel trying to be him??


For PawPaw.....you always ask for one of me...here is one that his half decent! Go Barry!

What I want to be when I grow up..

This last week was community helpers week. The firetruck came to school one day, the police car, boat and motorcycle came another day. A hair dresser, dental hygenist and several other professionals came to Joel's class explaining their jobs. It was really neat. Joel started the week wanting to be helicopter pilot...then he wanted to be a transformer and finally he said he wanted to be a construction worker (think Bob the Builder). So this is what he wore to school on Friday... He also brought his Handy Manny tool set.

Fire & Police Safety Week

Joel has had a great time at school this week as they learned about Firefighters, fire safety and police officers. They made firemen's hats one day. Here is a pic of Joel wearing his hat.

Preschool

Today was Joel's first day of preschool. He had a blast...its hard to believe that he will be 4 in a few short months. The years feel like only minutes.

Here are a few pics.

Joel and his teacher


Joel and Mom..he didn't even want to take a picture with me...oh well, he was happy to be there.

He colored a bee and a flower today..and he had a sucker in his bag when he came home, he thinks things are grand! I hope that all the rest of his school days are just as happy.
