We didn't see the groundhog's shadow, so according to legend, our spring is almost here! Today is sunny and we spent a lot of time outside once the yard dried out.

Our project themes this week are based on Groundhog Day and Valentine's Day. Next week will continue the Valentine's theme, followed by Presidents Day.

We are also studying letter O items and animals, number ten and decagon.  The oldest three students are reading like champs.  The eldest is reading a series of first and second grade ...

About Me

Karen Hackett
Cupertino, California

Following my career as an escrow officer, I decided to devote my time to my own children at home. Initially I obtained a child care license to bring in a few playmates for my little ones. As it turned out, I discovered I loved teaching and caring for young children. Although my own daughters are grown and teachers themselves now, I still love spending my days with the little ones. I love nurturing them and seeing them grow and progress! My hobbies of reading, playing guitar and learning the Italian language are integrated into the preschool program I provide for my sweet "Little Stars."
