Friday's Tattler

Friday was a huge and busy day that went with a huge and busy week!!!

We began Friday with a strong play period and lots of the kids re-invented building. It was good play. Then we stopped for a big breakfast of pancakes. They were especially good because they were made from black bean flour and lentil flour and soy flour plus whole wheat flour. The kids really enjoyed these.

Then Mrs. St. Louis taught Noah's Arc. The children had homework from Thursday to bring a picture of an animal for the arc. They built the arc out of paper and then they pasted their animals into the arc. All in all a very nice little project. Austin and Emily and Javeon were clever enough to finish the arc. Austin was the first one to recognize the hole in the arc and offered to fix it.

Edan's mom, Beth, came to show us zoo things. The kids loved the emu and ostrich eggs. It was wonderful to have a parent so enthusiastic about what she does for a living. Miss Beth works with the plants at the zoo and she has access to many fine zoo treasures. She brought plants and a snake skin.

In the afternoon Emily's mom came to show the kids all about yoga. Emily's mom owns Yoga 101 which is about the best exercise program in the whole world, and she is so beautiful posing! The children were excited to see what they could do.

The day finished with theater, recess and a delicious snack.

So proud of the children for all their hard work listening this week.

Thanks to all the parents who came in to talk to us at the GS about what they do for a living. We had Officer Dickinson come and talk on Thursday about being a police officer, and Mr. Phil, Amy's husband came and talked to the children about being a nurse. On Wednesday we had the fire department visit with the pumper truck, and all the children got to spray the hose and climb on the truck.

Next week it's our trip to the zoo!
