Student of the Week

It was Lauren's turn to be Student of the Week. That means that you have to make a poster about yourself and bring in something different each day. On Friday, I had to come in and read to the class.

When we were planning out the poster, we looked at one of Lauren's shirts that had a paint splatters on it and then peace signs and hearts and etc. We decided to use that shirt as our pattern. We first splattered paint all over the poster board. Then we cut out pictures and the shapes we needed. It was a fun project to do together. Lauren was so proud to bring it to school.

Finally a Sunny Weekend!

For the last three weekends it has been rainy and cold. That seems to be a record for Phoenix. This weekend it was beautiful. Saturday was sunny and 75. Perfect weather for a day at the zoo.

Lauren was in a rare posing mood. So I got to take a bunch of pictures with no fight or no bribe. She can be so funny when she is "posing" but I take what I can.

The funniest thing happened toward the end of the day. I got Lauren an ice pop and we decided to just sit and watch the baboons for a while while she ate her pop. The male baboon was chasing the female around the baboon area and finally caught her. He then proceeded to mate with her. Lauren was just watching but didn't say a word. I was trying to figure out what to say if she asked what was going on. But since she didn't ask I decided to just let that one pass by without comment. Oh, the things you see at the zoo. (I didn't get a picture of that action!)
