Garden School Tattler


We more than welcome Miss Kelly to our school staff. With pictures yesterday, it was a wild morning. The children all looked beautiful, but the play lasted too long and the noise level rose, and rose, and rose, till the roof seemed at odds with the rest of the building.

But Miss Kelly held strong, and we had a really complete day. We had a new breakfast - homemade cinnamon biscuits with apples and milk. I bought the most adorable tableware and the children were able to apply butter to their biscuits with rabbits and sharks and whales.

We had tacos, rice, salad, bananas, apples, sour cream and salsa. The kids seemed to enjoy lunch.

At Christmas, we do an Around the World theme. It was the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe yesterday, and we told the story of Juan Diego and his cape which is still on show in Mexico. We did an art project and sang all our Christmas songs. I'm delighted at how well the children are singing.

Time seemed so long, and now it seems so short to Christmas. There is so much to do. The list is so incredibly long, it seems almost to have no end.

Today is the Feast of St. Lucy. It's crown day, painting day to catch up. Maybe we will go outside - depends.

And the beat goes on....
