The Garden School Tattler


It was a great day today! We had a great start of the day with a new novel called "Whitefoot the Wood Mouse." It was published in 1922, and it's about a mouse. The kids seemed to like it. David was mystified by this wonderful little timid mouse.

Weather report: a few storm clouds in the morning, and calm seas by noon. Afternoon skies clear and cloudless.

We had donuts and apples and milk indoors and then settled down for a day of making paper spiders. Halloween is just THERE!!!

Tomorrow is field trip day, and we talked about the pumpkin patch. It should be a chilly day, so the kids need to wear a light jacket or the school sweatshirt if they have it.

We started evals on children for permanent records today. They will go with children to big schools.

We had homemade bean soup, snausage, pears, apples, French bread and milk today for lunch. Lots the the kids ate bean soup for the first time and liked it. I made homemade egg rolls for the teachers, and some of the kids tasted them and liked them. They are simple to do.

The news media was in school at 2:00 to film the last of the toy test. Miss Molly and Miss Stacey were interviewed along with Ty, Yuta, Mayli. This should be airing shortly. The whole video will be available to parents in November.

Now that the media is gone, we can pull the toys out on the floor and let the kids be kids and play. We were so afraid that someone would break something before the end of the test, we kind of protected them from harm.

Looking forward to tomorrow -
