Cruise Day 5

On day 5 we landed in St. Martin on a gorgeous day! We started by shopping at the local stores to see if we could get any goodies. This was our only day that we actually had time to souvenir shop, so we took full advantage of it! In order to get into town we had to take a water taxi:



After shopping we went back to the ship to grab our suits! We then headed to the French side of the island to visit Orient beach. We had heard many stories about this beach...if you don't know, you need to look it up! Surprisingly at first we were pleasantly surprised because everyone had suits on! Below is a picture of where we had lunch:


Then we tried to go snorkeling because there was supposed to be a lot of fish here....but no fishies! We looked for a while but we only spotted a few zebra fish. When we moved to a 'better' snorkeling spot we COMPLETELY understood the stories about this beach then! OH MY! We quickly walked out of there and went to the beach closer to the ship. I must say...one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Turquoise water, sunny days, and tropical fish made the island hopping so fun!



We were a little sad to leave because this was our last stop on our vacation, the next two days were spent on the boat coming home. More to come soon! :)

Christmas Parade

Because I'm a sucker for parades so we took Naomi to her first Christmas parade! It was a very nice day out! We tried Naomi's sunglasses on her...but they didn't stay on long! Every time a band passed Naomi was completely enthralled in them! Future band nerd in the making! :)

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Sun

We started our study of Space with the Sun. We first read Genesis 1:14-19 and talked about how God created the Sun and the Moon. We then watched this very cute video made by Story Bots. If you haven't seen this show on Netflix, I highly recommend it! I ordered this book off of Amazon and we read the portions about the sun together. Next we read a poem about the sun and they colored a picture of the sun. For Math, we sorted pictures of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Naomi and Isaiah took turns counting how many of each object we had. Isaiah continued counting, while Naomi started to add. How many Suns and Moons are there? How many Moons and Earths are there? Very cute activity that you can find here .  For phonics Naomi and I played this game to practice CVC words. We each drew 5 cards and tried to find a place to put them that made an actual word. We were able to play this game a couple of times! I was very surprised at how much fun Naomi had playing this! When we were finished playing...
