It was a dark and stormy week! The children played indoors quite a bit. We cleared out some toy space and Miss Molly brought in about a 1000 piece train set. We haven't put it together yet because we are still clearing out some of the toys to make room.
We did a little work on dinosaurs this week, but the big dig at the end of the week had to canceled on account of rain. Dinosaurs are not the big hit they used to be. Ella and Sophie and Abbie were the only children who knew the names of some of the dinosaurs. They knew brontosaurus and tyrannosaurus rex and "long neck." I was impressed!
We are working on knowing our full names, our parents' full names, our address and our phone number. This has to be done at home. Please teach your child his full name, address and phone number in the car on the way home from school.
We tried one of our Garden School trademark lunches this week and it was a huge success. We served stuffed pumpkin. It's a whole pumpkin with the top cut off, cleaned out and stuffed with cooked rice and sausage. There is a cheese sauce that goes with it. The children loved it.
Our focus at the table this month is "drink your milk." We have a lot of children who are not accustomed to drinking milk at the table. So we are encouraging them to do so at certain points during meal time.
I was delighted to see some of our old students return to the GS on Friday. A great big welcome to Skylar and Kamden. It was nice to see Elizabeth there as well.
