The First Day of Friday School


Walking into school with the snacks and their back packs


After school, Jaden was so hungry she ate a whole hotdog and bun (above), and Morgan was so exhausted, she crashed before we made it home (below)!!
What a day we had Friday!! I didn't take any pics while in the school~ These pics are of the before & after. I taught Morgan's class (which includes 7 other kids that are either 2 or 3 years old). In her class we read 3 books during the course of the morning:
"Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?"
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?"
And a Little Goldenbook called "The Sleepytime Book"
We colored a brown bear, and made bears out of play doh. For their Spanish lesson, I taught them 2 songs:
"Tengo Dos Manos" (I have two hands)
and "Buenos Dias, Como Estas?" (Good Day, How are you?)
We had music time with a music teacher for 25 minutes, and got playground time for 30 minutes.
Jaden went to her manners class where she did really well. They learned the proper way to answer the phone, introduce people, etc. She went to the sewing class after that. They gave everyone "right-handed" scissors to cut their fabric with. Since she is left-handed, it didn't go too well for her. The teacher of the class, also, admitted that the class is more for 3rd graders and up (even though she included 1st and 2nd graders in the class info sheet). To make a long story short, I will be pulling her out of that class, and putting her in the missionary geography class. Her last class was play ground games. They played fun games like "red light, green light".
I'm still trying to feel all of it out, and I am still not sure whether we will continue with Friday School next semester. Once I start my new job (hopefully very soon), I may not be able to continue to teach my seedlings class. If LeCount has to take the girls, I don't think we will do it.
