Fun times at pre-school

We couldn't be happier with North's pre-school.  He absolutely loves going to class each day.  And every now and then they send us photos from their grand adventures.  Here are some of those:
The meadow!  North's favorite class-time adventure spot.  He recently informed us that the meadow at his school is the belly button of the entire world!
He has been asking for months to get to write with a feather--his amazing teachers Sky and Licia made it happen!
Picnic snack time!
Exploring!
Quorra and daddy picking up North!
Gathering around the table to bake some goodies! Pumpkin seeds!  They scooped them, cleaned them, salted them, baked them, and ate them for snack!
Hammering away at the work bench!
Gathered together for an art project - painting leaved and acorns!
North and Keats when they were learning about Indian cultures- Keats moved and North really misses him.  They were great pals.
Snack time!
For a while these seed pods were North's favorite thing in the world.  I'm still finding them in various nooks and crannies of our house.

North has such a great time each day!  He has made such great friends and loves his teachers so much.  We couldn't be more thrilled that he's in the classroom he is.
