School Talk

Fiona still likes to grin and say "I'm not telling you!" when we ask her about school, but we're getting more details. She's doing more arts & crafts than she did at Rita's. So far this week, the kids have decorated hot air balloon cutouts (on paper) and created self-portraits of their faces by looking in the mirror and choosing their hair and eye color and pasting those onto plates.

This week's lessons are all about the body, and in addition to the parts Fiona's known about for years (eyes, ears, etc.) they're learning about the lungs and heart.

Fiona's started learning more names for the other children. She's still very clingy when she gets dropped off, but she doesn't cry, and when Miss Annie convinces her to join in an activity and leads her away, she doesn't look back at whichever parent is dropping her off.

Oh, and the coolest news: Fiona's class is taking their first field trip. We got the permission slip yesterday and they're headed to a farm at the beginning of October! They'll get to pet the animals, pick pumpkins and go on a hayride. One of us (TBD) is going to chaperone as well, so assuming they get enough chaperones to do the trip you can expect a blog post on that sometime in early October.
