Busy Bee School

In the morning, when I am feeling great, inspired, and have lots of energy, me and the little ones have what we call, "Busy Bee School". Basically, it is a time for crafts, and learning something really easy, like how apples taste, what bees do, that sort of thing which is easy for the little ones to understand. This morning, when we just started on the craft of making flowers, by tracing our hands, cutting them out, and putting scraps of paper on contact paper to cover the flower with, Grandpa came! So it sort-of was like an open house, since I told him what we were doing, and he also ended up with a little hand flower! I want to take this post as a right time to tell you all the crafts that we have made in Busy Bee school, we just started in January. In January we designed maps of different countries since we were studying about the great explorers with the older kids. In February, Dad got lots of fun homemade cards, and we also made paper bee mobiles. In March, there came paper bag owls, puppets for Parents night. April came weather clocks which we hun on doorknobs everywhere!

May was the trip to the craft center, where we made all those crafts, ranging from Picaso portraits, to paper plate butterflies. June brought paper crowns, pipe cleaner aliens, and nature walks, we brought in all our findings and had a nature vase/area. July has brought us Coke can bird houses, paintings with only two colors, red and yellow. And now these flowers! Am I a good big sister, or what?
