Monday's Tattler


Good Evening, on this Monday. This morning I left the house at 5:30 to pick up Edith in Chandler because she was leaving her car for an oil change. So, consequently, I didn't get this on the hopper this morning.

This week we are focusing on reading. Some children will read letters, some words, some sentences, and some will read books. We are hoping that the children will step up one level each, and those who are reading letters will go to words and those who are reading words will go to sentences, etc.

We are trying a few new lunches this week. Today we had a taco bread. It was homemade whole wheat bread that we rolled out thin, stuffed with taco meat and cheese and baked. We sliced it and served it with black bean chili which the children really liked. Two new favorites.

Motivation is also a theme word for this week. Too many of the children are "floating" through the school without a project at hand. Every child needs to be employed at all times. That can be as simple as looking out the window. It cannot be annoying another child or being destructive.

As the weather begins to improve this week, we will start to go outside again.

Please read your calendar. It was sent home today. It tells you all you need to know about this months activities.

Please keep ill children home. We will send a reminder of what it means to be ill. Please read this Indiana State Health Code for early childhood. It will mean so much that your child is not exposed and does not expose other children to what is going around.
