The Garden School Tattler



It's been a really crazy week. It's Spring Sing week and that means one of our classrooms is tied up with books, books, books. We've been getting the kids outside a lot because now is the time to tone up the skin. You can't take kids out in the sun all day after keeping them inside all spring. The gradual skin toning is an absolute must with the kind of summer program we do.

Please consider sun screening your child before he leaves the house. We've been using it on the playground, but a good screening at home can't be beat.

Spring Sing is the introduction to our big book sale. This is an important part of our spring program. Books for the summer for parents to read to kids, for kids to read, to have something to bring a child down from a play high so that they can really sleep is a first class must have for parents. Please look at the selection. There are Mommy and me books; Daddy and me books; solo books; discovery books and keepsake books. The prices are all pretty nominal and the quality is Scholastic which you will be involved with for the entirety of your child's school career.

Please think about rewarding your child for having his medal at the end of the day. This is a big deal considering what he has to remember and actually do during the day to keep that medal. It's a prize every day that he keeps it.

Today we will be practicing music and doing a lot of group activities including water play.

This Sunday is teacher staff meeting. If there is something you'd like us to consider for May, now is the time to voice an opinion. Summer is getting close and this summer should be one of our best.
