-Circle time. Included finger plays about grandparents since today is 'Grandparents Day'.
-Read 'Just Grandma and Me' by Mercer Mayor to the girls.
-Worked on memory passage.
-Girls helped hang up laundry.
-Astrid completed a word search with words about grandparents. She sounded out most of the words before finding them.
-Astrid filled in a poem form about her grandparents (I told her how to spell each word). She did one for each set of grandparents, put them in envelopes and stamped them. I addressed them for her. Tomorrow we'll mail them off to her grandparents.
-Astrid drew two pictures: one of herself in winter, one of our house with each person who lives here looking out of one of the windows.
-Finished making Inca dolls.

-unstructured play: camping trip, doll house, blocks, paper dolls, lots of general silliness today.
-Girls danced around to a kids CD.
-A car accident took place on our street so the girls went out with all the neighbourhood children to watch events unfold. Four police cars came, a woman was arrested and taken away in one of the police cars and the two cars involved in the crash were towed away by tow trucks. The girls were very fascinated. We discussed it with Jason and Vincent over dinner.
-Watched videos Vincent made of the dance class he and Joannie took last night.
-Read a chapter of 'Charlotte's Web'.
-Said nursery rhymes to the girls at bedtime.
