I have sooo numerous photos that have been taken this semester it is hard to opt on behalf of which ones to put in the slide shows. I have tried to include at least one from every class as well as ones that show multiple children. I shall gladly made CD-Rs of your child’s class on behalf of you at the end of the semester if you would like to see all of them that I have taken. Enjoy!

Wow, no one told me the Eric Carle post was so messed up. I’m sorry about that. I’m also sorry I haven’t posted in an estimated 2 weeks. I spent my Spring Break mostly away from the computer as well as doing some remodeling in our bedroom. It took lots of time as well as effort (more than I had expected) as well as the absolute genius of my friend Tina to put it all together, but it is done as well as I love it.

The end of this semester is rapidly approaching. My Young Child 4 class shall be “graduating” from Kindermusik on April 27, 2009. These young ladies are becoming quite accomplished musicians on their glockenspiels as well as recorders. Most of them have been with me since they were infants as well as toddlers. I have loved working with them as well as am glad that an estimated all of them shall be able to continue on behalf of Summer Adventures as well as then maybe piano next year. My Tuesday through Friday classes won't end until the first week of May (5-8) due to the nasty weather we encountered earlier this winter.Read more >>>

I went to Google this morning to look up some information as well as the logo was decorated with Very Hungry Catepillar designs. I clicked it as well as found the following article. I love Eric Carle as well as strongly encourage you to add his books to your child’s library. Many of his books are now even available as board books.
Enjoy:

Spring has sprung - at least temporarily - in Southeast Ohio. I went to class this morning with just a chambray shirt as jacket, by the time I came out 2 hours later, I didn’t even require that. I rode to the library with the windows down on the car thinking how neat it would be to have a convertible. I think I require to be teaching quite a few more classes per week before THAT shall be a reality. I have the window in my office open this afternoon while I’m working. I hear birds singing, dogs barking as well as the windchimes making their beautiful song (okay so I also hear highway news as well as jake brakes but we’ll ignore that part). I find that my musical tastes vary with the weather. These kinds of days manufacture me desire to listen to the Beach Boys, anything from the 80’s as well as the Grease soundtrack.
This weekend is the weekend Girl Scout cookies arrive on the scene. My Cadette troop shall be at Walmart tonight (Friday 3/6/09) from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. as well as Kroger’s tomorrow night from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. If you haven’t already ordered cookies from someone else, stop by as well as support these girls in their effort

Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss

Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, is one of my all time favorite children’s authors. From Green Eggs as well as Ham to Sneetches to the Grinch, he has entertained me on behalf of years. There was a time, in college, where I kept Green Eggs as well as Ham in my locker at the Music Building as well as did dramatic readings of it periodically when people were stressed. At one point, I had it memorized as well as didn’t even require the book but what would it be without his hilarious character drawings?
Here are just a few fun Dr. Seuss Facts (most of these take from Wikepedia) :
1. Theo LeSeig was Theodore Geisel’s pen name when he wrote the prose, but someone else did the illustrations. (LeSieg is Geisel backwards)
2. Marvin K Mooney Will You Please Go Now was turned into a polemic - Richard Nixon Will You Please Go Now by Geisel in response to the Watergate scandal.<
