The semester is off and running! I have twelve kids this semester- Three five year olds, five three year olds and four two year olds. Other wise known as "the big kids" and "the medium kids" and "the little kids" Though one of my two year old insists on a daily basis that he's "a big kid too!"

Such a multi-age classroom certainly has its challenges. Let's just say lesson planning was quite extensive the first week - haha. But now things are running smoother, and I and the kids, are getting the hang of things.
I don't do it all alone of course- that would be quite impossible. The moms of kids in the program take turns helping out in the classroom. They're a big help during the morning- and sometimes they even bring special talents- like face painting.
