penguin day

Dennis was able to rejoin his regular class today in time to learn all about penguins. He has educated me about how they slide on their tummies and how they eat fish. They heard a story about a penguin that wanted to learn to fly, a story he apparently really loved, and when they came to the science class I was teaching, his entire class waddled in like penguins. In science, they played Don't Break the Ice, which as it turns out is a hugely popular game for preschoolers! I also had them try to stick a penny to their cheek and then add a drop of water to the penny and try it again (since the water forces out the air between the penny and the skin). They were happily amazed.

Tonight Dennis and David went to church while I stayed in to rest up my immune system (which is still losing its battle with this cold or whatever that I have). Dennis has been jumping around in vigorous health today, and his eyes look perfect. He hates the eye drops that he is supposed to take 4 times a day. The drama increases with each dose. We might have to get one of the dogs to lay on him by the time we get to day 7!
