We have set a regular weekly time out in our mini forest and in addition take opportunities to explore and learn on our school grounds. Connecting with nature is so important. We are learning to slow down, look closely, think, wonder and work as a team. We are learning to care about and care for our environment. We are also learning to work together in a community. <div><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrJiK7MSaxLi40-W5WyA5BTagInbQPNj8q7C9UOFx3Xy_1_tQDX8ZX7CAVjrtq3wJ0i8bFF0JS-GyDO8UvUp6C7GgXNfRcyxzALzwcHBGgTvlossBovDnidogBleur11-bKCdc2QyHRWln/s640/blogger-image--493707824.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We used to do morning reading and then last year we went straight into Exploration centres (inquiry time). I like the idea of a soft start and was trying to figure out a way to do a soft start that didn't involve using our inquiry centres. I like to have a meeting and reflection time before heading to the Exploration centres. This year, our soft start is called Me Time. This is a time where students can eat a snack if they are hungry and they can choose an activity such as Magnatiles, board games, sewing, drawing, and reading. It gives them an opportunity to settle into the classroom and chat quietly with their friends while doing a choice activity. They seem to really enjoy their morning " me time". <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAdp31YaVkusiYXVKKc8VzTiBvW2WC_nLDwVcAQIJ0wjpRWSqc32MquD35Xyn-GFBgxdg6vfVMuGiKuz-oDW1mSUKP9CBoLwpx_nFL77NJVRjP6E-tVTjnzp8mKkcVYvoOsbmodERDy6OG/s640/blogger-image--383092424.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAdp31YaVkusiYXVKKc8VzTiBvW2WC_nLDwVcAQIJ0wjpRWSqc32MquD35Xyn-GFBgxdg6vfVMuGiKuz-oDW1mSUKP9CBoLwpx_nFL77NJVRjP6E-tVTjnzp8mKkcVYvoOsbmodERDy6OG/s640/blogger-image--383092424.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1jxL8myMkStuNF0-qixh6wpRws3AbtsP0ElmRgwmu6WaoNvqbJtD9qoQFDlipKh6C43NHOBmMUmjkEbzV2X59AVMFEn8DGGq9lLk7AT8WoExzFGsWx_mtXEd-YK1IJ-ZywA0t43UqDsv/s640/blogger-image--1936297766.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1jxL8myMkStuNF0-qixh6wpRws3AbtsP0ElmRgwmu6WaoNvqbJtD9qoQFDlipKh6C43NHOBmMUmjkEbzV2X59AVMFEn8DGGq9lLk7AT8WoExzFGsWx_mtXEd-YK1IJ-ZywA0t43UqDsv/s640/blogger-image--1936297766.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYGy43tz-wyk02Mxi_Jl1h5VwNI0LvRNco_xa2AX14utoeXMklgwiWMkhqOT9MkFOeVKDX17J7sYjkXG8VpjIVmNcSHrOeSoywHzqanhU-tGYkJr4KP30aEyq8Z4ZeQTh_BBE69zAWM2t2/s640/blogger-image-980893993.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYGy43tz-wyk02Mxi_Jl1h5VwNI0LvRNco_xa2AX14utoeXMklgwiWMkhqOT9MkFOeVKDX17J7sYjkXG8VpjIVmNcSHrOeSoywHzqanhU-tGYkJr4KP30aEyq8Z4ZeQTh_BBE69zAWM2t2/s640/blogger-image-980893993.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1C8PFr1iqkGT1a6sNPs-3CyRgxawzAOT3BBvzZjhKKcrTs4r05JnJvfF2SXOLFUlEt_D7i7PpB4l79RoU_yR9WNjbDF-kHkpdp0oXbbeC4Ktq2d3xyDVJXt0pfQB9PjDq6tp8LQGJxFDf/s640/blogger-image-649444004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1C8PFr1iqkGT1a6sNPs-3CyRgxawzAOT3BBvzZjhKKcrTs4r05JnJvfF2SXOLFUlEt_D7i7PpB4l79RoU_yR9WNjbDF-kHkpdp0oXbbeC4Ktq2d3xyDVJXt0pfQB9PjDq6tp8LQGJxFDf/s640/blogger-image-649444004.jpg"></a></div>Niki Leechhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16920433209771692793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885318794204170190.post-33505817296916299492016-09-24T16:11:00.001-07:002016-09-24T16:11:08.614-07:00PatternsOur math focus this month has been on patterning. Our first step was to use the classroom materials to build patterns. I circulated the room asking questions, listening to explanations, observing my students interact with the materials and their peers and taking pictures of their patterns. The pictures I used as part of the reflection on the learning. Showing the pictures on the Smartboard gives the students opportunities to share their learning and reflect on it. This discussion is a valuable part of the math class because it leads to questions to further develop our learning. The first discussion after exploring with patterning led to questions which helped guide the next day of patterning. <div>Some of the questions were:</div><div>What makes a pattern?</div><div>How are patterns the same?</div><div>How are patterns different? </div><div>Can a pattern grow and repeat at the same time? </div><div>Can a pattern decrease? </div><div>Is a pattern always in a straight line? </div><div>Do numbers have patterns? </div><div><br></div><div>Students were excited to use a variety of classroom materials to investigate these questions. While they investigate and explore I encourage the development of thinking and communication skills by asking questions, listening to explanations, recording, reflecting, and encouraging them to share their ideas with their peers. Learning takes patience and time and is very social. By providing opportunities for collaborative work we deepen their understanding and communication skills. </div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLchG754nIxISxlC7z0gP-5bOZgO0zN02RvILus1UF95f2ufZ-XY9C2Xc-7ni7P-E-YrH3hMRMxS4D2DXhAXsOaBgwc3o26cX5sRBEAZ-zjxYoyClrl6-JWTqL1UCi6uVlv2Ci1OtBabcu/s640/blogger-image-664576889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We talked about story telling and the importance of it in the First People's culture. We talked about how the stories were told by the elders, especially during the Winter months and that the stories all have important messages in them. After listening to Little Bear and Crow we decided that the messages were never give up and that it is important to help people and that sometimes you will even get helped back when you need it. After listening to the story several times we decided to use loose parts to help us retell the story. We worked with a partner or a small group to create our scenes for our stories, using a variety of loose parts and puppets. We then used an iPad to record our stories.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijKzKbLexnzF5zQdGL0hSgUwkm-e_PwEbmR_MC232ZOWpAyrfQYB7emPu64lnSRFUo14YWCoR9dTrtjDlVreD1upW8gyXftmX4mGhz3jgURYZI_YaiMBwe40MtJ-D-Nlftw60JmuAfTFrg/s640/blogger-image-628324887.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijKzKbLexnzF5zQdGL0hSgUwkm-e_PwEbmR_MC232ZOWpAyrfQYB7emPu64lnSRFUo14YWCoR9dTrtjDlVreD1upW8gyXftmX4mGhz3jgURYZI_YaiMBwe40MtJ-D-Nlftw60JmuAfTFrg/s640/blogger-image-628324887.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs2JsBb5yXzLvJA5T7QQFRnHw-y0HlpOf-GhSy88KV1p3rwVaJ5GjXJrohZ3DYr6-7-93AcmcZnQgmtzdeukhV-GsTtVzlq_xMCpJ-ZBjTLfj1LkIOoo7soJLU6Nu_QqHmmu0PQ3yJDbd0/s640/blogger-image--1351250730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs2JsBb5yXzLvJA5T7QQFRnHw-y0HlpOf-GhSy88KV1p3rwVaJ5GjXJrohZ3DYr6-7-93AcmcZnQgmtzdeukhV-GsTtVzlq_xMCpJ-ZBjTLfj1LkIOoo7soJLU6Nu_QqHmmu0PQ3yJDbd0/s640/blogger-image--1351250730.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr5WSUlqQXmAPP2EGGmL34bllAe53mAsxgg66Oq637izJ8HUKtOVE-o1y-o6PT48QUD6JjnDLorcE8fqZNXHg-rk1HNwkod8VI9qJ3x92FB6TeDUiXAcOoI8pCXr-grzkBwFBWoNaVnai/s640/blogger-image--664845122.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr5WSUlqQXmAPP2EGGmL34bllAe53mAsxgg66Oq637izJ8HUKtOVE-o1y-o6PT48QUD6JjnDLorcE8fqZNXHg-rk1HNwkod8VI9qJ3x92FB6TeDUiXAcOoI8pCXr-grzkBwFBWoNaVnai/s640/blogger-image--664845122.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9OvPxrXfJMVQ1sgQzJTHY9148251V7yzLYBIGT1V_lqAFCm8QM4hW3l7fcaEfBMr2SDet9SSjXXy_GE3s9eip820UIAyUi8bJxyRe1mOZXYhdANrFwA-Pxw6ren9mJ4_4YB9JVrToZaW/s640/blogger-image-607669563.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9OvPxrXfJMVQ1sgQzJTHY9148251V7yzLYBIGT1V_lqAFCm8QM4hW3l7fcaEfBMr2SDet9SSjXXy_GE3s9eip820UIAyUi8bJxyRe1mOZXYhdANrFwA-Pxw6ren9mJ4_4YB9JVrToZaW/s640/blogger-image-607669563.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxzCG5DoLnQWkqg_5K2en4KJtFY1B6RUg9M4-iWYZ2cZHV67PHP_rJvYsjUNdD0PZqYdln05Knt5Blefo97pEMZJwBtTovfTZLj_AuLFSoIAfnbnEniqvgrXXqOkajXyKrPidiuECvFNgT/s640/blogger-image--440577332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxzCG5DoLnQWkqg_5K2en4KJtFY1B6RUg9M4-iWYZ2cZHV67PHP_rJvYsjUNdD0PZqYdln05Knt5Blefo97pEMZJwBtTovfTZLj_AuLFSoIAfnbnEniqvgrXXqOkajXyKrPidiuECvFNgT/s640/blogger-image--440577332.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObziZuZxdF98B4QHamzCYB5CR63m_sLF8RM99U9pkvnuL5OKZFkD1krmWYxyFlujvr3qiOooWyDRNw3zopUVom3r6XL2Y6XgIUlpZRL_ibSykeyo96oN9mQA2CLbwzRQvmFP3g6_n1Oxz/s640/blogger-image-63655801.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObziZuZxdF98B4QHamzCYB5CR63m_sLF8RM99U9pkvnuL5OKZFkD1krmWYxyFlujvr3qiOooWyDRNw3zopUVom3r6XL2Y6XgIUlpZRL_ibSykeyo96oN9mQA2CLbwzRQvmFP3g6_n1Oxz/s640/blogger-image-63655801.jpg"></a></div>Niki Leechhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16920433209771692793noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885318794204170190.post-87573469087642389172015-10-13T18:42:00.001-07:002015-10-13T18:48:10.999-07:00Where do ideas come from?For the past couple of weeks we have been thinking about where our ideas come from. It started with the reading of the book WHAT DO YOU DO WITH AN IDEA. We read the book and then talked about ideas. We then had Exploration Centres where we created things and talked about where our ideas came from. We also talked about whether all ideas are good. We shared lots of great ideas about where our ideas come from. They come from pictures, books, friends, videos, games, toys, our brain, our prefrontal cortex, t.v. shows, nature and our dreams.<br />

Science Big Idea</div>
<div>
Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started our inquiry into living things by representing living and non living things using loose parts. We then studied garden clippings, observing the changes that occur as the garden clippings decompose. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We are focussing on looking closely at the objects using our thinking, communication and observational skills. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We are learning that all living things have important roles in their ecosystem as producers, consumers and decomposers. Each role is important to keep a balance. We are very interested in creating food chains and webs. We are learning that everything in nature is interconnected. </span></div>

Big Idea in Language Arts</div>
<div>
Language and stories can be a source of creativity and joy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have been using our creativity, loose parts and oral language skills to retell stories. We started with the story Smelly Louie. Smelly Louie is a great story about a dog that has been bathed in rose water and wants to find his original smell. He goes on a journey to find his unique smell. After we finished retelling Smelly Louie we began the read aloud My Father's Dragon. First we created our own dragons using paint, crayons, sharpies and markers and then we created our own versions of Tangerine Island , using loose parts. Some of us recorded our stories on the iPads. Next we are going to create the wild animals that also play a role in the story. Do you have favourite stories that you like to retell? </div>

In early May the butterfly larva arrived in our classroom. At first students thought the larva were little baby slugs because they were tiny little black creatures. The larva quickly grew as they ate all of the food in the containers. We observed the larva, named the larva and used loose parts to make our own caterpillars.<br />

We watched a movie about metamorphosis from Discover Education. We learned that butterflies have complete metamorphosis. They start from an egg, then larva, then chrysalis, and then adult butterfly. We watched for the signs that the larva was going to form their chrysalis. One morning when we arrived to school we found that the larva (caterpillars) had climbed up to the top of the containers and made J shapes. We observed and wondered about what was happening to the larva. The larva stayed really still in the J shape and then a chrysalis formed. After 6 days the butterflies emerged from the chrysalis. We have been watching, thinking and wondering about the butterflies. We have even named them. Next week we will have a butterfly release party.<br />

My plan was to have the students try to make sounds using the water and the vases but a pencil dropped into one of the vases and a new inquiry started. A learner kept trying to push down the pencil and it kept springing back up to the surface. The learners on the table all wondered why the pencil kept floating and didn't sink. Some thought it was because the pencil was too heavy and that heavy things float. Others thought that light things float. The theories started coming. One theory was that objects that are hollow float. Another theory was that solid objects sink and objects with air float. Then the investigating began. Right now we are at the investigation stage trying to prove or disprove our theories. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJEQ1BOopn_-gCa73FjS4K8u-Z6lRc2U9_k5GktYHdvn5-J0HzQxw7J2qt11zyq-h_ffnqnd288OQvcv2WAdBLIA36UnY2z9heShZQ0_54BuRFlqF1WdDA88SawfQPB_dESqmkqjtdY-3/s640/blogger-image-129211899.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We figured out how to get treasures out of ice, how to build a snowman, how to measure a snowman and how to make a pine cone creature. We also explored tulip bulbs and built towers on the light table. Next we are going to explore the world of sharks. <br />

Next week we are going to continue our dinosaur learning. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZlu_hYkt5axh3MZDuggHTsDcPykspGr4uErrHw7ir_IK5Zp9M_lJSgsYyjPl3H-9Ctg1MmvyW49Jgd5MnX4twAQd-4dDMTRhbayJHUdNABBvKYV9twCt8rJYi9UJtEABYfQ8BkHpPongO/s640/blogger-image--901769648.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

These are things that we have collected at home and have brought them to share with the class. Today was our first sort. We sorted them with our table groups. Once we had sorted then we labelled the baskets. Next week we will sort them again. We have so many interesting objects: lots of shiny ribbons, big googly eyes, flowers, pine cones etc...<br>

This year we are trying something new in the mornings. We are starting most of our days with exploration centres. During this time we are focussing on looking closely at objects, questionning,<br />
wondering, connecting, and collaborating. We are learning to be scientists and mathematicians. We are also building our fine motor skills by drawing, cutting, building with plasticine and playdough, tracing, and printing.<br />

This year we are focussing on inquiry. We are learning to question, investigate, collaborate, make connections, and experiment. We are looking closely at objects. Our first inquiry involved sunflowers. We examined the parts of the sunflower, measured stems, and created sunflowers with a variety of different materials: cubes, construction paper, stones, wikki stix, playdough and modeling clay. We built sunflowers on the light table. We drew and painted sunflowers using water colour paints, pastels, sharpies, and tempera paint. We also used magnifying glasses and a hand held microscope called a Zoomy to examine the parts of the sunflower. We used tweezers and pulled the sunflower apart. We took the seeds out of the sunflower head and measured, weighed, counted and examined them. Some of us even planted seeds in soil. While we were working collaboratively we came up with some questions.<br />
<div>
Do seeds float?</div>
<div>
Why are some seeds all black and some have stripes?</div>
<div>
Do all sunflower seeds weigh the same?</div>
<div>
How many seeds are in the sunflower head?</div>
<div>
Which sunflower stem is the tallest?</div>
<div>
Why are the leaves are all dried up now?</div>
<div>
Why are the sunflower stems scratchy and have marks on them?</div>
<div>
Will these sunflower seeds grow into sunflowers?<br />

We roll two dice and then make a number based on the dots on the dice. For example, if we roll a four and a five then we make the number 45. We then add 10 to that number. Then we put a coloured chip on that number on the game board. The first person to get four in a row wins the game. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcERKAjfOOtUclFt_fOJS0-Qp6r-Owx0LQACxMXPKQGSLCSQ4XCRu0Nkjq6f-QA_lvKP279vz5XjAMByOQeZl8DHwFghfGENoAuISrEAimHuuCei0bhuELnFu0DnNc2csl-lZMkfuU7cxL/s640/blogger-image--1336813763.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcERKAjfOOtUclFt_fOJS0-Qp6r-Owx0LQACxMXPKQGSLCSQ4XCRu0Nkjq6f-QA_lvKP279vz5XjAMByOQeZl8DHwFghfGENoAuISrEAimHuuCei0bhuELnFu0DnNc2csl-lZMkfuU7cxL/s640/blogger-image--1336813763.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFLHXyYY_5SvN6RVwLqZuXCpFpxa8M_tcfxzN1JEq_Of56rGBPJcHEh3bX0JwwJ2l77703Nh5z93_i6PhK16dQEp22rdbTz13Llui70kBlutsnrSqvuuFFLqQsqzmYLPab3G7fUW64My6/s640/blogger-image--245531781.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFLHXyYY_5SvN6RVwLqZuXCpFpxa8M_tcfxzN1JEq_Of56rGBPJcHEh3bX0JwwJ2l77703Nh5z93_i6PhK16dQEp22rdbTz13Llui70kBlutsnrSqvuuFFLqQsqzmYLPab3G7fUW64My6/s640/blogger-image--245531781.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4OhEnrZ65img8irpboIejn2K88SfvSWlAsRit2TrIZeVdwm0aZWzCrD_do6ymKzFHmtnbT0b3Pu8GeYucwk3M8uE1tJkDb0b2WpDLTRw2wtJk4PJ0gpk7o6_uVEn5-LgcfBR0CK5p7QO/s640/blogger-image--839985076.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4OhEnrZ65img8irpboIejn2K88SfvSWlAsRit2TrIZeVdwm0aZWzCrD_do6ymKzFHmtnbT0b3Pu8GeYucwk3M8uE1tJkDb0b2WpDLTRw2wtJk4PJ0gpk7o6_uVEn5-LgcfBR0CK5p7QO/s640/blogger-image--839985076.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMIZ5uLos8xxqtemdeLuuSTnEIdMmF1ZK8JdFAgdkODoCSdbWejXoBAcnK_4OOxUYgRbu2VW4sGlCyEgcxBZsXpujr7QFUXj9uh4fuzHQDBPB7hjlrUgB_i-tjOv4CjmCd2HoW3VR8JyQd/s640/blogger-image--2093376939.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMIZ5uLos8xxqtemdeLuuSTnEIdMmF1ZK8JdFAgdkODoCSdbWejXoBAcnK_4OOxUYgRbu2VW4sGlCyEgcxBZsXpujr7QFUXj9uh4fuzHQDBPB7hjlrUgB_i-tjOv4CjmCd2HoW3VR8JyQd/s640/blogger-image--2093376939.jpg"></a></div>Niki Leechhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16920433209771692793noreply@blogger.com1
