It's Monday again...and it's time to start a new week. This week is Columbus Week. I know he's now the enemy of mankind and people love to hate him because he didn't live up to twenty first century standards in the fifteenth century. But Christopher Columbus is a fascinating person and filled with the kind of energy, perseverance, loyalty and reverence that makes someone great.
No special gigs this week. It's a stay at school week.
We will continue to work on our full names, our parents' names, our addresses and our phone numbers. This is something parents must do. Please go over this with your child on the way to school and on the way home.
The weather is cool today. It's time for long pants, but today it will be nearly seventy, so shorts are still OK. It's HOT on the playground.
We will be using a lot of pumpkin this week, and in nutrition class, we will be looking at the pomegranate for taste and health. It's a fun fruit the children will just love.
This week in geography, the older children will actually map out Columbus's voyage with their navigation skills. Should be fun.
Question for the week: If you were to leave your home and everything you owned and knew, what would you take with you? Ask your child.
