School is cool @ Aunty Nani's

I am so sorry I am late....like always....and of course I am blogging at 3am at work!  I had school Tuesday and Wednesday! We studied the Letter L, the color brown, and talked about LOVE! 

We missed Malachi, who was sick, and Kaiona, who was out of town this week!  We enjoyed having our newest member Jason/Bubbi join us!  All the kids wanted to do at my house was eat and play downstairs with the toys!  (We are also very fortunate to have our youngest visitor Kalei join us!  She paid more attention to me then Alema :)! )

Tuesday-I introduced the color BROWN!  We played brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?  We looked for brown in our clothes, who had brown eyes, brown hair, brown things in my house!  I also always do the color chart....they all pretty much know their colors!  Then I introduced the letter L.  When Etano was in kindergarten his teacher taught them to write their letters with these instructions (for L - it was down and over, so like for H it would be down, down and across, for lower case d it was around and down).  I was suprised that most of them were able to to a capital L when I showed them and said to them the "down and across" instructions!  The kids loved our "Lunch-time"! 

Aisa is my talkative, "aunty look" one.  Jason adjusted really well - him and Alema kept trying to sneak off to find cool toys.  Kailia and Kalei were little partners and Kuulei was my little teacher's aide!  We had a good time!

Wednesday - in a nut shell was our little LADYBUG day!  We made paper plate lady bugs!  They inserted their own ladybug legs but interestingly enough their favorite part was when I let them have the sharpie to draw black circles!  haha....Then we made ladybug houses - with red plastic cup, filled with green construction paper grass, then our lady bug was a red felt ball....they loved covering the top with saran wrap so the ladybug would not escape!  Again, they loved ""Lunch-time"!  We also sang lots of songs - they like doing the loud then soft singing! 

Thanks again Ladies for all you do for Alema and me!  We enjoy our time with you all!!
