The Garden School Tattler


I hope parents are continuing to study the world map with children. We have a new world map at school and the kids are locating places on that map and earing flags! Hadley is trying to clear the Middle Eastern area. Islands are fun. Kids love to find islands. For your homework, find Bora Bora.

We are continuing to try new things at school. Asparagus and artichokes are our next discoveries. The artichoke has more fiber and more protein than other veggies and children love to eat them because they can do so with their hands!

Play practice has been hilarious. The intonations are hysterically funny and the kids seem to like it. We have a lot of very very littles, so we will be doing some new things this year.

Today we will be talking about Bona Operas. This is a good deed for Lent. We talked about this last week, and with the field trip and the crazy rest of the week, we didn't follow it up. We will ask kids today about what they are doing or want to promise to do this season. It can be an outgoing promise - something they will "do" or incoming - something they "give up." We encourage helping at home.

Thursday is field trip day, so kids should wear sweatshirts if they have them. If you know someone who does sweatshirts, let Miss Judy know. Our past maker is quite ill and had to retire.
