Friday's Tattler

It was a splendid week. Lots of kids rallied the last couple of days from illness, and we had a nice big crowd on Thursday and Friday.

Here's the thing to remember about illness: If a child is not himself when he wakes up, and you suspect he may be coming down with something, the best thing to do is let him stay home. This will either prove the point and bring out an illness, or a child will be able to fight it off, and not be ill at all. This week we sent home the same child three times in a row. This child was not allowed to fight off his illness, and then instead of bed, mom let the child rough house all day, and sure enough next morning he was ill again. Children's illnesses are not like grown ups. They incubate slower and they stay and stay and stay.

Next week is play week. We would love for all of our children to be well. Please make sure your child goes to bed early every night to be fresh for the play.

Several parents asked if the play was last week. If you are reading the calendar we send home every first of the month, and the blog, there should be no confusion.

Our play begins PROMPTLY at 3:00. At 3:00 our front door will be locked and the bell removed. After 3:00 you may enter quietly through the back door.

Our play is going great guns. Most of the children know their lines reasonably well. We are working on placement, costumes, and backdrops this week. It's a big production, and one we are really proud of.

If you have not registered for summer, please do so. We will begin planning summer following the play.
