The Garden School Tattler




Just a note to say we are really really busy and so are the kids. Our youngest are learning to use the toilet on time and they are learning social skills. Some of the children have never done the usual stuff like puzzles, stringing or play dough with skills, so we are teaching "how to" and the kids are really enjoying it. Being able to get a product out of what could be a real mess is satisfying to the kids.

We are playing with the train set we bought this summer. It's remarkable how much the little kids love this. They actually get it together and THEN we give them the train.

Some of the other favorite play areas are library and kitchen. We bought a new table and chairs and we've had one tea party in there after another.

Today we're having fish sticks - yuck, but they eat 'em. We had beef hot dogs, cheese in French bread yesterday, and it was a big hit.

With the weather getting better, the appetites are growing.

Miss Kelly and Miss Mandy are working on group order and listening. It's making a huge difference. Lines, quiet, how we sit is the key to learning.
