"skipping grades"

dava has definitely been improving on her coloring and cutting skills:

practice makes perfect

after many, many days of whining and complaining, and comments like, "i can NEVER do it!" dava has finally mastered the art of scooting on the scooter. now, i have this experience forever and ever more to use against all her present and future whines of "never" being able to do something.

misc.

making a butterfly puppet (like in blue's clues) for project time
tea set and colored pencils make monkeys (at least that's what she said this little figure was: a monkey)

dance school

modern dancing = ballet and ...modern???...dancing
something like that

little angel's academy

that's the name of the school dava goes to...just on thursdays though. she already knows all the stuff in their scholastics curriculum, so she just goes on "playball day"...

misc...

baking
art (apparently the picture that dava's drawing is "zaccheus in heaven")
perfecting the art of tying bows
"be the artist -- the garden of your heart"

finger puppets

so, one day (jan 30, 2010 to be exact) we decided to have a finger puppet show for word time. unfortunately, the video will not be posted...but pictures will. most of them are captured from the video file (cuz i didn't take many still shots), so bear with the quality.

the story is baby in a basket:
