Today is Pajama Day. Children wear their pjs to school. Please let them wear their shoes today, so we can go outside! It will be in the fifties today, so we are looking forward to some outside activities. It's been such a long time since these children have played outside. They are so restless!
It's been a good week until yesterday, and suddenly, the kids got tired and cranky and apparently had a really bad afternoon. We were short Miss Amy yesterday who has been ill, and struggling along without her is not fun. Miss Judy opened school with Mrs. St. Louis and we combined classes in the AM. Miss Judy took the kids for a couple of math games. Most of the kids listened and did very well. I was stunned by Scotty's ability to keep up the count with all of Miss Amy's older children.
Mrs. St. Louis and Miss Elise did a really cute Chinese New Years project that is hanging in the library. The children colored - and very nicely, I must say - Chinese New Year creatures, and then painted a red backdrop for good luck. Miss Elise combined the effort in a really cute display.
We had Chinese food yesterday and the children really liked it. It was chicken and shrimp and vegetables on brown rice. We ate with chopsticks. Today we will have pizza.
I knew the kids were out of sorts yesterday when geography was such a difficult thing. The places we have worked on so hard were simply out of their reach yesterday. We will work on those things together again.
Please get your summer registration back to school ASAP. We are trying to put the summer program together and we need some numbers.
Have a great weekend!
