They loved the GARLIC!!

We had a fun time today, with our SMELLING party! It was wonderful to have Ms. Wanda back with us today! Donnie is still in the hospital, and they are doing some more tests, but she just needed a change of scenery today, so she worked this morning, and then went to Lagrange after school. When Drew left, she said, "Ms. Alicia, I'm going to give Ms. Wanda an extra hug, because she hasn't been here in a while!" I just love that our kids thinks hugs can make it all better!! Today, we smelled lots of scents. We smelled Peach, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Fish Food (YUK!!), Lemon, and Garlic. Now, personally, I love garlic, but I love the smell ONLY because I love the taste! I could not believe that the kids LOVED the smell of the garlic. After we smelled that, the kids thought everything smelled like garlic! They were pretty funny!

We also started making Smelly Books today! We made orange paint to paint oranges with, and we made red paint to paint strawberries with. We added flavored gelatin mix to the paint to make it smell. It seemed like a great idea at the time. Well, live and learn! 1. the pictures are so sticky, they may NEVER dry completely. 2. They had the fruity scents for about 5 minutes. Now, they just smell like glue! However, the kids LOVED painting the fruit, and we will paint the others tomorrow. They may never make it to a book, though!

We had several out sick today too. I am ready for this bug to move on!!!

Have a great night!!
