Art work and puzzles

The kids were working on a puzzle this morning. Can you guess how long it was?

Mr. Snowman has "dancing arms" can you tell?
Alyssa brought home some samples of the art work she's been doing at school. My kids art work is one of my favorite things about school. The snowman is getting it's own frame as well as the "abstract" art piece above. Alyssa was unable to tell me what most of it was but can you find the ladder and the rainbow? Her assignment in the abstract art was to make squiggle lines all over the paper with marker and then paint it. I LOVE it! Below is her American quilt. You can't tell by the photo but she cut the ends to make fringe as on a blanket. She is having a lot of fun in school and often reports out exactly what has gone on during the day. She was very animated in telling me all about these art projects.


This next picture I took because it is her very first written piece that I've seen come home from school. She took upon herself to write a note to her friend Hayden. It reads, "Hayden, you did a very good job. Chocolate." So I asked Alyssa why she wrote the note to her friend and she said "well, I'm not done but I wrote it because she did a very good job." "A good job at what?" "Playing with me" she replied matter-of-factly. I was so proud of her on so many levels. First that she would think to praise another child, a peer no less, second to do so by writing a note and third that she attempted to spell this ALL on her OWN! Did I mention that she is in Kindergarten? Yes I am a very proud Mommy!
