Dress-up Time

My girl loves going to school....alhamdulillah :). She loves playing play-doh, painting, do crafts, playing outdoor and her favorite is playing dress-up. This is what she will do when she's there.

My girl and her friends loves playing dress-up at school. Today, I caught them being cowgirls... :D They were soooo cute in those outfits.

Ruqayya was calling her brother on the play phone :p and so her friend Elly....she was calling her mom...hehe

Field Trip

Yesterday, my son's class and other kindergartners class went to Hidden Villa Farm for their field trip. I went with them too coz I was their chaperone. At that farm, they have veges, fruits and herbs garden. They also have animals such as chickens, cows, goats, sheep and pinky. It was a great educational trip and they had lots of fun playing, learning, tasting veges and petting those animals.

The farm is open to public and they have lots of programs for kids and adults. Can view more about the farm here : http://www.hiddenvilla.org

2's Class

Yesterday was Ruqayya's last day of 2's class for year 2008/2009. She really had fun and every week she look forward to attend the class. I still remember the 1st time she attended the class. She was very shy and didn't want to talk to her teacher and play with other kids. Now, she loves to play, talk and not shy anymore. Thank you Ms. Mina for making the class so interesting and fun. Ruqayya and I will definitely miss her and the class.

Spring Program

Yesterday, at my son's school they had a Spring Program. The school is not big...so, they can't do all the shows on the same day. My son's class had to sing 10 songs and also they had to memorize some lines given to them by their teachers. Very impressed and proud of them coz they can sing all 10 songs and memorized their lines by heart. Thanks to their teachers for making it great! Well done Ms. Reuwsaat and Mrs. Moulden!!

Science Fair

Last Wednesday (3/25/09), my son's school had a Science Fair. Their class project was 'Sink or Float Experiment'. I was so proud of him and his friends. The purpose was to find which objects will sink and which objects will float. So, they chose 7 objects such as ping pong ball, golf ball, penny, plastic spoon, pencil, spool and paper clip. Then they had to fill the clear plastic tub with water. After that, they dropped 1 object at a time into the tub and they observed & recorded which object will sink or float. So, the conclusion was all things are made of matter. The objects with more air will float and the objects with more matter and less air will sink.

Tot class

Last Friday, Ruqayya started her spring class after a week off 2 weeks ago. She was so excited to go back to school to meet with her teacher and friends. Most of her old friends are still there and also there are new friends too. They begin with a circle time. During circle time, everybody sings a welcome song and say each others name. After that...all the kids get to do art, play with play-doh, toys, play at the science table and play outside. Every week the teacher change the stuffs at the science table and art project. For the mothers...we have were divided in 2 groups. Group A & B. Every week, we have a group meeting with the teacher.

Ruqayya 2's Birthday

We started to send Ruqayya to 'two yr old' class last year in September. The first day of school, she was very shy and very clingy to me. She didn't want to talk to anybody include her teacher, Mina. She goes once a week on Friday morning from 9am till 12pm. Of course I have to stay with her till the class ends. They have about 15 kids in her class. She loves to play 'tea party', play house, art and all the toys there. She had a great time on the first day of school. So, we continued sending her there. She still goes to school every Friday. Now, she has many friends and love to play with them. She loves painting and play dress up. Her fav thing is the pink hat. Last week she had a week break before the spring class start.

Now, she is not so clingy to me anymore and more independent. She talks a lot and loves to sing. It's very nice to see her play with her friends. So, this Friday will be her 1st day of spring class after her 1 week off last week. She's looking forward to attend it.
