The Garden School Tattler



It's a transition week this week. My class will move up to Miss Kelly's class and we will be planning for summer. It's going to be hot, and getting used to the heat is an important transition for the kids. It will be hot all summer, and being able to be out in it for hours takes practice. Field trips are not air conditioned, so now's the time to make the adjustment.

We are planning a movie trip on Friday to the opening of Shreck. It's a first try at a movie opening for us. We will send our new invitation to the field trip home today. Tell us what you think. We are looking for a method that both explains what the costs are to the parent while it identifies each child.

We'll picnic after the movie and try out the new plan for summer foods. We're planning on using flour tortillas for bread this year. We've tried all kinds of breads for picnic sandwiches, but the kids hate crusts, and resist eating any kind of bun, so this year, it's tortillas. Filling a tortilla with a an ounce or two of filling and folding it over might just be the ticket. It's light and easy to use. Also, taking sandwich bread for 50 is no easy chore. This way, I can easily take 150 tortillas without using a whole cooler.

Lots of new kids will be starting school now, so it's going to be hectic.
