I have been volunteering at both girls' school and I really enjoy it.
Fall Decor at Emilie' s Bluewater Elementary School
On Monday, I volunteer in Emilie's art classroom till the end of October. Papy and Maminou are taking care of Claire while I go to school. This month, the kids have been studying Picasso and got to experience first hand by painting their face Picasso style.
Emilie did a great job, it was very similar to her drawing. Judge by yourself...
Mrs Saczynski, the art teacher, and Emilie's kindergartner's class
On the first Tuesday of the month, I volunteer in Emilie's class as well for the Literacy Station. I just need to make sure the kids are where they are supposed to be while the teacher, Mrs. Runyon, is taking the others on a one-on-one.
The second Tuesday of the month is at Claire's Happyland School. I just help the teacher by playing one 'game' with the kids. This week was a shape game. The head teacher, Mrs. Byrd, takes the kids apart as well during that time.
Claire got to bring the Happyland bear home for the weekend. She was SO excited! She fed the bear, brushed her, taught her how to drive in the shopping cart car at the grocery store. She had a tea party for her. She even got to take him to the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola with Maman, Emilie, Papy and Maminou.

The tea party with Maminou and Emilie --- With Big Bear, the bear Mike sent Anne for their 8th Wedding Anniversary last month. The girls adopted him immediately and called him 'Big Bear'. They take turn sleeping with him...
At the Naval Aviation Museum (Claire bumped her forehead on the corner of a wall the day before the school pictures...)
When she got back to school on Tuesday, she got to share with 'her kids', as she calls the children in her classroom, what she did with the bear...
Then each Thursday morning, I volunteer on base at the Thrift Shop. It is run by the Officers' Spouses' Club. Maminou came and helped me a few times.
