January of 2008 I was offered a substitute teaching position at FBDS. My Friend Jodi is the Master teacher in the four's class, but has been away from work since January. I have had the privilege to work with her children and fall in love with them. I've been so excited to wake up every morning and spend my day with twelve of the most adorable children in the world
(no joke) :-)

St. Patty's Day

I brought in Lady Bugs for the children to play with.
My friend Chloe decided it would be fun to put one on my nose. I agree, it was fun!

Easter Party!!

Detroit!! He's wearing a Tigers hat also.

In March I spent some time discussing
caterpillars and their
development/transformation into Butterflies. I told the children
if I could get my hands on some real ones I would.
I ordered some painted Lady Butterflies and our class raised a successful
FIVE! Their Names were: Nail Beetle, Richard,
Goosey, Lucy and Ella!!
(the children choose the names)
Once the
caterpillars went through their stages and reached the final stage
I told the children we would have a butterfly party to celebrate
their release into nature.

I
believe this was Nail Beetle (broken wing)
I Can't wait for my own classroom!!
