This week it was just Darius and I as Anne was in Arizona with her family for a family funeral. Our condolences go out for Anne, Jimmy, and their family.

Preschool was a bit more quiet with half the class absent:) I took advantage of this time to concentrate on things that Darius was really interested in, like the weather! We went over the different steps of the the weather system (i.e., evaporation,condensation, precipitation, collection), and I demonstrated each individual step in our own kitchen (i.e., boiling water to show evaporation, putting the lid on to demonstrate condensation, etc...). Darius was just beside himself & seemed to grasp the concepts well :)

We did have a special guest in class, none other than the infamous, Leilah-Louise "Cutie Pie" Cuenca! She had fun for a second in circle time, and tried to do some 'class work' with Darius!
