Lots going on at school this past week. Learning to think about "outcomes" and learning to think things through has been a kind of theme this past week. The children are all hyping for the Christmas season and their behavior needs a lot more thought. Getting them to think about this is not easy.
We had some winners for the Advent Boxes this week we were very pleased about. The Advent Box goes to the best behaved child in the school each day. The first winner was Trevor, second winner was Phoenix, third winner was Jasmin, and the fourth was Emily. We will announce Friday's winner on Monday.
We are trying new cookies every day. On Monday, we had a little number called Ginger Cream Cookies. Tuesday, Miss Molly made Thumbprint mint cookies on Wednesday, Mrs. St. Louis made cornkrispy treat wreaths. On Thursday, Miss Molly made Oatmeal Raisin cookies. On Friday, Miss Judy made Apple Cherry Crumb Bars - delicious.
We told the story of the Annunciation on Friday during Bible Stories, and on Tuesday, the children were able to intersect the navigation lines for Israel on the map. Miss Amy has been teaching a lot of modern Christmas songs, and this week we start the traditional carols.
Friday morning we rescued two chinchillas, a cage of six finches, some gerbils, and another rodent. We will be making room for these animals over the next few weeks. Children are welcomed to visit with a teacher.
It's busy, busy, and there is lots to do.
