| This is a live cicda we found in the backyard the other day. |
 |
| I came up with the idea of making a mobile to teach the kids about cicadas. |
The mobile has pictures of and about ciacadas. The kids colored/painted the pics.
Facts about each picture are on the back. We have been hearing the cicadas every day when we go outside to play. Sometimes we see their shells left behind.
The above explains how I got interested in cicadas a few years ago.

Hi.
Welcome to Julie's Creative Kids Day Care.
I am a licensed day care provider. In addition to this, I am also a licensed social worker with school social work experience. I have 10 years of experience working with children. My main goal with my kids (day care and my own) is for them to have high self-esteem and to feel good about themselves. We also work on kindergarten readiness including the use of zoo phonics among other activities. I have a strong concentration in art from MN State University (along with my social work degree) which helps with day care in the variety of art projects we do andlearning activities in a fun way. We also
do puppet shows with props that go to various books, sensory tables and other
fun learning opportunities.For me day care isn't just a job or career, it's a way of life. I am
blessed to get to spend my day with kids. I am so happy to
have you visit here.
I am currently working on posting some day care artwork. I have it posted also on Face Book. I decided to start this blog because not everyone has Face Book and I wanted those who don't to still be able to see this stuff.
