Happy Birthday Maxon!

               Happy 3rd Birthday Maxon!!! 

We had a great morning celebration for Maxon! He brought his mommy, daddy, and a favorite book.  John, Maxon's dad read for us, and the children were enthralled.  Their facial expressions were priceless as the illustrations seemed to leap to life; the tiger in particular.  Elyse, Melanie, and Jen all thoroughly enjoyed the book as well! We found so many animals that we have been talking about: an alligator (for Violet), an elephant, a lion (for Janie and Cedar), a bear (for Maxon), a cheetah, a giraffe, and many more.  

After we finished looking closely at the animals in the book, Maxon walked around the candle three times for his three years, before he blew it out!  He smiled sweetly as Lochie lead the group in "Happy Birthday"!

Elaborate, shadow structures

George, Giacomo, and Jack worked for quite some time on this elaborate structure.  The overhead projector added the elements of light and shadow.  

"I'm trying to connect them.  Like a bridge." - Jack

"Can you see me?" - Giacomo
