Nature Center Preschool: Spring 2012


Due to popular demand (yay!), El Dorado Nature Center is continuing the Year-Round Preschool in Nature Program, and enrollment for Spring 2012 is now open. The classroom is surrounded by 102.5 acres of wildlife habitat, and the trails, grasslands, and ponds create the ideal setting for hands-on learning. Each day centers around a different nature-related theme, creative exploration and animal interaction activities. Children gain basic school skills (like counting, color recognition, peer socialization, independence, etc.), and explore natural treasures through music, movement, stories, art, and open-ended discovery (all within a truly unique, outdoors-centered learning environment.)

Potty-trained children only.
Classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Ages 3 1/2-5. 10-11:30 am.
$80 per 4-week session.


Upcoming Session Theme:
"Budding Naturalist" - May 8 - May 31



Preregistration is required
. Enroll at the Nature Center, or by calling 562 570-1745.

Style Muse: Carey Mulligan
























I love how Carey Mulligan doesn't shy away from busy prints, shine, sparkle, and texture. Appropriately so, she'll be playing Eliza Doolittle in this year's remake of My Fair Lady.

Have you been to David Thorne's (for grownups only) 27b/6?

It's filled with fantastically entertaining, creepy-twisted email exchanges.

Singsongy Saturday: More Lissie





He and She: Watching Dirty Harry


He: "Just give it 15 minutes, and if you really don't like it, we can watch another movie."


She: "Hey! That lady's swimsuit is so cute! It's yellow! You know, it's a shame, but you really don't see very many yellow one-pieces these days. Does this movie feature other great fashions?"


He: "I think I need to watch this with someone else."
