Monday's Tattler


Another super warm week. On swim days it's supposed to be in the mid nineties. That's great for swimming. When it's ten degrees lower, it's too cool. Kids like it hot to swim.

We're going to try out Scales Lake this Friday. It will be a new adventure for me. I live in Newburgh, but have never been to Scales Lake. This beach lake should be lots of fun, and a change from the pool. Remember that July's focus is on swimming, just like June's focus was on travel.

Spelling words will go home with kids today. They are simple words. Please help your child with them. When children tell us that "they didn't have time to study," it's a good indication of what kind of students they will be next year. Study shouldn't end with Memorial Day. It should always be present in the home.

We are beginning to get some produce from the garden. We started harvesting our blackberries on Friday, and we will have a choice of blackberry or plain muffins today for breakfast. Please encourage your child to try new things. Summer is a wonderful time to explore new fruits and vegetables.

Have a great week!
