I worked a lot today.

From Elise's school:
Today we talked about our heart. All of our friends pointed to where the heart is in the body. We decorated a heart today and placed it on our body. X told us that our real heart is not shaped like the heart we decorated.  X was eager to place his heart badge on and share it during show and tell. We also practiced following instructions today. We played freeze tag with rhythm sticks. Ms. Tiffany used the rhythm sticks to simulate a beating heart and whenever she stopped, her friends froze. X was very good at this game. especially when Ms. Tiffany Made the heart beat really fast. X enjoyed playing the game and loved showing off his dance moves.  We practiced tracing and drawing E's on the dry erase board. X traced her E's very well and X drew an E all by herself. Today was computer day and our friends requested which of their favorite french songs they wanted to hear. Elise selected avec un gros nez and  X selected j'aime les voitures.  We also had a fire drill today. We practiced walking out of our classroom and outside in case of a fire. X wanted to know when the fire truck was coming. 

Once Jonathan got home and we all relaxed for a bit, we jumped in the car to explore the Fernbank Science Center. There wasn't much to it (lots of stuffed animals and space exploration; a living bee hive; some live reptiles, a couple of fake dinos), although I'd love to go back to try out their planetarium. We've never done one before, so that could be fun but it's typically late.
