Mida teha / What to do
Kust leida huvitaviad lastesaateid? / Where can I find interesting Estonian kids shows?
Lastekas on website kust leiab Jassi ja Jussi tegemisi ja toimetamisi. Nad õptavad uusi sõnu ning uurivad kuidas tavaparased asjad toimivad. Sealt võib leida ka laule ja põnevaid mänge.

A new school year has begun and we have been really busy. With what, you might wonder? First of all, we suddenly have 15 kids, apparently the little babies from the last year have graduated to toddlers who want to participate in everything. Secondly, we started our school year in the beginning of October, and that of course required some fun arts and crafts sessions dedicated to Halloween and fall.
We also had our first field trip to Remlinger Farms. Kids got to pick out their pumpkins, ride a tractor and get lost in the corn maze.
And before we knew it, we had to get ready for Christmas. So, we have been practicing our, dances and songs - we still love our "Aisakell" and this year we learned a new dance, called "Päkapiku tants". We also managed to squeeze in some art work with pine cones. You can see all about our adventures and art work here.

We have had a ruff start this year. Everyone has been sick and our rooms have been over run by others in the building but finally things are finally starting to look up.
Today we talked about Estonian language. Why?- well, it was Estonian language day.
We also were watching a short cartoon about Juss ja Jass and the main colors. The kids are getting very good at their colors. Their favorite game is the "Catch your color".
We also love doing art.We learned how to make paper boxes, and colored months and seasons. Our new song we are trying to learn right now is "Kevadel". The dances we are still practicing and getting pretty good now are, Kaera-Jaan, Kupparimouri and Oikea Vasemba. The little ones join us for Oike Vasemba and they love it. It is very cute to watch as older kids teach the younger ones.

Head Uut Aastat!Happy New Year!
Here we are again. One year gone and other starting. We have come long ways, kids are growing and learning new things by the minute. Our class have grown bigger, we now have ten 5-10 year old's running around, four toddlers who try to keep up and three babies who are not sure what to think of the whole thing.
So, we started our year with little talk about how was our Christmas and then we practice our memory on left and right, it is not as easy as you think. We also learned a new dance, "Kaks sammu sissepoole" and started to learn a new song "mull-mull-mull-mull väiksed kalad"
