We're watching the angel strings add up! There is a fight to the finish line! Every time a child does something wonderful, he earns a paper angel. A demerit stops the earning, and the kids have been so good, it's frightening. The child with the most angels will win the Santa Prize on Friday.
In addition, for general all round perfection, we have been assigning the Advent Boxes to children who have shown exceptional goodness. So far we have had 11 boxes given out. The kids really like this; it's been a winner. I congratulate the winners. They are remarkable children.
These are the kind of rewards teachers love. Everyone participates and learns something essential about courtesy, love, attention and contribution. We hope it's showing at home.
We had a new baby born - Addie's little brother was born yesterday morning. We wish them the most wonderful Christmas.
Today we will try to make some candy. Yesterday it went too slowly. Usually, a person with the right supplies can turn out a lot in a little while. I really want the kids to enjoy this.
Yesterday in afternoon session we did a little geography and looked at the arctic zones, the temperate zones and the equator; it was easily done for most of the children so we are making progress! We will begin looking at areas of countries after Christmas.
Today we will read the Littlest Angel - one of my favorite books.
We will have pork roast, mashed potatoes, applesauce, homemade bread and salad for lunch today.
Thursday is roast chicken and Friday is breakfast for lunch.
