Monday's Tattler

Good Morning!

It's going to be a beautiful day. It was gorgeous yesterday, and I think today is going to be a repeat!

We are hoping for a little climb in the weather by the end of the month because the pool needs to heat up a bit before the kids have a rollicking good time in it. Alternate plans if the pool is too cool are in the making.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.

This week we will be working on phonemes (sounds) and counting both in French and in English to 100. We will be working on handwriting and games of "What do you know." This seems to fascinate the kids. They love knowing and they love hearing new material. This week the bigger questions will be on geography. Children should know their oceans and their continents.

Awards Day is this Friday at 3:00. A little ceremony for parents will commence at 3:00 and be done about 3:20. A picnic will follow out side. Please plan to bring your child's favorite "side." Good suggestions are mac and cheese, baked beans, green beans, salads, etc. The GS will be furnishing hot dogs and buns compliments of Carolyn Shapker. The GS will also supply a big graduation cake and drinks.

Please remember that every child will need to have an adult with him. If you are having trouble with supplying an adult, partner up with a friend to attend for you. Ask that someone at the GS take your child. We are not concerned with the fact that parents attend. We are concerned with the fact that the child is left alone. It's a very busy time for teachers, and children left alone and crying is not the way a celebration or a holiday needs to go. So if you are having trouble finding an attending adult, ask someone to help you.

Have a great day!
