First school's notebook

School gave one of Amané's notebook today!

It's the one for writings, with songs,

and little stories...

Amané choosed some pictures of her

and we wrote the story of each picture together.

Teacher will be happy on monday!

Then we went to Didi and Dada's house

where Amané will stay until next afternoon.

Merci Didi Dada!

Didi can ride a bike...?...!!!...??...WEEEEEE!!

after school and siesta we went to Didi and Dada's house.

Dada found some old games (more than 30 years old I guess!).

Amané tried but it was difficult...

I,m sure next time it'll be ok!

Dada so patient to explain the puzzle...

After snack, let's go for a ride!

And what a surprise!

Didi joined us, on his bike!

Amané first really surprised, was sooooo happy to ride with her Didi!

Passing the way, we went to say hello

at Sabine and Roger's house.

(ils vont très bien Ninie, ils partaient à Médis;) )

Rainy Wednesday

Amané did a lot of work today!

Among finding the bigger, the smaller,

drawing lines, finding the same etc

she had to do some paintings

and tearing up (that's difficult for her) and sticking

sort colors

sort forms...

She also found a new way to read books.

So proud of herself!

And I had to sing while she was making piano...

In the afternoon, we went to see Grammy,

we went to the city center and had a great snack!

Blue eyes, brown hair, appreciating his bath...

Mon tout doux Ylan looking  at a catterpillar:

Make some towers and castles

ON them....

Then take a basket

With a rope

throw your ball ABOVE the rope

BELOW the rope...

Then throw your ball

BETWEEN the basket and the rope...!

Mornings, when I'm leaving her in the classroom

Amané is still saying (screaming......!!!!!) : "MUMMY MUMMY",

and doesn't want me to leave her....

But this morning the teacher and a nanny

explained me that Amané was the most enthusiastic in the class room!

Clapping hands when the teacher's explaining what they'll do,

being the first in front to do the new experiment....

Waow Manette, it looks like you appreciate school...!!!
