Pequeño's Swim Lessons

Pequeño has been asking to go swimming a lot recently so we decided to sign him up for swim in place of soccer this spring. His class is in the afternoon while the older kids are still at school which is great. He had his first lesson today (it was 1on 1 and the biggest the class will be is 3 to 1 and there is always a lifeguard as well). He was a little nervous but the instructor was really good with him and was able to get him to try everything. He's really excited to go back again.

Cuatro has discovered that he can pull himself up on the bars of his play area so he has been doing it nonstop!

Little Bear's Alien Project

 

For his project, he needed to create his own alien that would live on the planet Mars using a 2-liter soda bottle. Then at school, the students each made "passports" for their aliens which listed information about the planet that they had been assigned and also about features that their alien has to help them survive on the planet. 

He chose to give his alien reflective skin, red feathers (so it can lay on it's stomach to be camouflaged when in danger), many legs (which is also how it absorbs moisture from the ground and then stores the water in the "stomach" like a camel does with it's humps), 3 eyes, and furry hair on top to help keep it warm.
