Giggle Garden Preschool

This year I had the opportunity to do a preschool co-op with some other moms.  It really was a lot of fun and Henry had such a fun time getting together with his new friends 2 times a week.  Right before school started one of the families moved but we were able to add someone else to keep it at 6 kids.  However, throughout the year 3 more of the families moved!!!  So our little group was cut in half.

We made cookies....

Learned letters... and did some crafts.

We even took a few field trips!  (One to the pumpkin patch at Gilcrease Orchard and the other to Anderson Dairy.)

 Occasionally I would even get creative with the snacks. (We were learning about penguins and polar bears this week.)

And here we "went fishing" with our pretzel stick poles, peanut butter for bait, and caught some gold fish! (Thank you Miss Rhonda for doing this so many years ago at the library)

 For Thanksgiving we had a snack feast!

 I lucked out to get Dr. Seuss week... so we made a "Dr. Seuss building" with Duplos. (Jayden was visiting us that morning.)

And we graphed our fish crackers.

 We even made oobleck that week. (Dayton's cousin was visiting with us that morning.)

 We ran into Rylee at the park one day right before she moved.

And we had Tristan over one day while his mom packed.

Because it ended up being such a small group at the end we threw out the idea of a graduation and decided on a low-key playdate at the park.  Henry busted his lip open in the first five minutes but finally calmed down enough to have a fun time.

Our three survivors--Dayton, Brynlee, and Henry.

It was a good experience for Henry and me... and he is super excited to start Kindergarten in the Fall.
