Sharing Day at Pre-School


Last Friday was Jasmine's day to bring a snack and have "sharing":) We were told to bring apples and cheese cubes... so that part was pretty easy. Jasmine chose to bring the little electronic bee for sharing that Grandma and Grandpa gave her.

Here is Jasmine with her "Sharing Bag" and her little bee. She was so proud!

We've been busy the past two weeks....






My computer gradually died after being smashed by Southwest Airlines and topped off by Enterprise Rent a Car, so I finally got a nice new MacBook. The new MacBook is not compatible with the old modem for wireless internet service, so I have a spider web of wires all over my office right now until I can get a new modem.

Last Saturday night, we went to the Tempe Center of the Arts free performance by Ballet Arizona called "Ballet Under the Stars". About 1000 people showed up and it was held on the lawn of the Center--- which they had just watered, so it was a muddy mess. Plus, we had to park two miles away and take a shuttle- which was a total of 4 little golf carts for around 1000 people. The ballet was very nice.... part of which was "A MidSummer Night's Dream" and other classical themes. Jazzy loves ballet, so it was nice to see it. We weren't allowed to take photos of the dancers or the stage. One of the most notable performances of the evening was when the Mayor of Tempe walked... or kind of skipped onto the stage, and fell and almost rolled right off the stage:) Most people were respectful and didn't laugh:)

We have also been continuing with Hip Hop class, piano, and Disney Ballet. The little girls in Disney Ballet wear their Disney princess dresses and learn ballet steps. We also found someone in Jazzy's swim class who wants to continue with semi-private lessons with us.... since the lessons are not given by the City of Tempe from October to April. We will only be going to swimming once a week, but there will only be two little girls in the class instead of five.
