The Garden School Tattler




Our first day of school seemed like small world after the long summer with a lot of older children. But small world or not, it was quiet and the children were adorable. We have a splendid group for the year.

We tested in the morning, and Miss Kelly reports that her class is brilliant. They are way ahead of what she thought, and she was smiling "real big" when it was over.

Miss Mandy was also delighted about her class. "They are so cute and so good," she said.

Miss Mandy is a licensed teacher who has graciously taken my room. My forte is not kindergarten but preschool. I love the "I'm just beginning to learn" children.

We forget how much the very little kids don't eat. We had spaghetti, salad, bananas, grapes and bread and milk for lunch, and it seemed we threw away as much as we served. But that's adjustment.

Today we will have regular class time, and music and Spanish and perhaps social studies this afternoon.

We're off and running!
