Good Morning! It's a beautiful dark and stormy morning here in Southwestern Indiana. I'm excited to start another week as we begin the last stretch of school. It's going to be sixty today, so we will continue to build our outdoor bodies with sun and play. Lots of running, lots of jumping, so that we will be fit for all the excursions we will go on this summer!
Our book fair is this week. Please visit Miss Kelly's room anytime. If you need a lay-a-way bag please let Miss Amy know. She will be taking care of this in the morning.
Today Miss Judy has the privilege of going to Glenwood School to talk about writing. Writing is an important part of our early experience. It begins with imagining and talking about the fantastic things we can think. As Seuss said, "All the thinks I can think!" Thinking and dreaming and then writing it down is what we learn to do in school. Writing is a very personal experience much like any craft because it so individual. What is in my mind is probably not in yours! Every child should begin with the oral tradition of story telling. When they are old enough, they write their stories down. We encourage a lot of drawing because drawing defines thought.
Today I will go to Glenwood School and talk about the discipline and the craft. My goal is to remind these young people that anything is possible if you work hard enough and stay on track.
We are still working on manners at the GS. We expect please and thank you and quiet inside voices to be used indoors.
On Wednesday we will have costume day. Your child can come to school as a favorite story character.
On Friday we will have a Spring Sing at 3:00. Children need an accompanying adult and a plate of cookies or a treat. The sing will last about 15 minutes, and be followed by the book fair.
Have a great day!
