g is for giraffe

this week i hosted ella's preschool. we rotate each week between moms. i was a little nervous that i wouldn't be able to keep their attention for more than 5 minutes, but it turned out really good and i had so much fun doing it. it was a lot of preparation, but i think as i do it more, i'll be a little more efficient.
my cute little class.
here was the schedule:
color giraffe while kids are arriving
read goldilocks and the 3 bears
growl and crawl around the room like a bear
tape glasses on grandpa with a blind fold
decorate Gg with glue and glitter
play musical pillows
assemble paper bag giraffe
decorate and eat gingerbread cookies
make ghost suckers to take home
color a picture to grandparents and put in envelope


yes, this is the grandpa

we didn't get to do all the activities, but we did most of them. i think their favorite was the musical pillows (although it turned into a pillow fight) and growling like a bear. did i mention it was so fun. i think i will do a mini version of these with ella and brynn once a week.

Super cute! We did Joy school last year and it's amazing the things you can come up with to entertain 3 year olds for 2 hours! You did a great job!
