It's been a crazy week. Lots of kids out with various illnesses. Please keep a check on two things to keep illnesses down - lots of water and lots of rest. We are trying to get the kids outside every chance we have and that fresh air will do more for keeping kids well than many things I can think of. We will air out the school today as well.
Miss Elise is Miss Amy's daughter. She has been working with the preschool doing wonderful things with art. She's a a delightful young lady and works well with the kids and with the teachers. She is married to Ely and they presently live with Miss Amy. We are very very glad to have her at the Garden School.
Miss Leigh is another new young lady. She has been a friend of mine since she was born. Her mom and I are great friends and her family have been neighbors for thirty years. Leigh is a student at UE and is getting her degree in Elementary Education. She is a great friend of my Anne. Leigh is an artist and loves music and works part time at Starbucks.
When we bring on new people at the Garden School it's always a joy when it works out well. I could not be more delighted with these young people.
The children have been watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and their attention skills are remarkable. Every child is watching intently and understands the story and can respond quite brilliantly about who is who and what is happening. It's been a wonderful experience. I am amazed that they are not bored with these older movies. The ability to sit and listen - even for short times - is often difficult for young children, and the kids are eager to sit and listen.
Many thanks to Mrs. St. Louis who has gone out to find these movies.
Don't forget to get your child's sweatshirt. He will need it for next week's field trip and all subsequent spring fieldtrips. It's part of the uniform. It's a great intermediate cover for any occasion.
I have a few copies of Porkchops if anyone is interested. I will be having a book signing in late March at Boarders. Everyone is welcome.
Have a great weekend!
