Noodles

 

Libby is working on perfecting some new flavors of noodles to sell at the farmers’ market and we were able to taste test her tomato basil noodles.

Butterflies

 

We've missed the butterfly display at the Dow Gardens the past couple of years, and were delighted that the conservatory was reopening for the annual Butterflies in Bloom this spring. On Tuesday afternoon, we basked in the warmth and color of the flowers and butterflies.

Valentine's Party

 

We had a delightful and delicious Valentine's party on Saturday. We shared finger foods and tea, and then Naomi led a quilled craft.

Sorting rocks

 

We used a scale, set to grams, to sort rocks into groups of small (1 digit), medium (2 digits) and large (3 digits).

Class

 

I'm reluctant to admit how excited I was when my books arrived at the start of January for a class I'm taking. It's a sheltered immersion class, about how to help language learners develop their English skills while learning content. After completing this class, I plan to add an ELL endorsement to my teaching certificate.
