Who got married??

Last week's storytime was a bit of a fiasco... I had made shakers by getting large plastic easter eggs and filling them with rice. I told the kids that we hadn't had a chance to seal them shut, so not to open them. Heh heh... Famous last words...

I don't think any of the kids purposely opened the eggs, but enthusiastic squeezing and accidental dropping meant at least half of the eggs split open and rice was everywhere. It looked like we'd had a wedding in the children's room!

This week, Judy glued the eggs shut, so it wasn't QUITE as much fun, but they make a better sound filled with rice, so musically it was a better storytime experience!

A visit from the 2nd Grade

It's always a good day when the 2nd graders come to visit. Here they are leaving with the books they chose with their teacher Mrs. Pohl (in front) and the classroom aide Jody Perry (at rear). Click on the picture to see a larger version!
