Friday's Tattler

Jasmin and Isaac won the spelling bee today. They did a great job. So happy to hear that they tied because each one spelled as well as the next. That is enough to warm my heart. Isaac is reading on at least a second grade level if not better. So proud of him.

There was another medal party on Friday - I understand that fifteen people attended. I'm hoping for a medal party that includes all the kids. If a child loses his medal during the week because he either made another child cry on purpose, was chronically disobedient or chronically disruptive, he needs to understand that he is not behaving in a socially acceptable way. Change is the best policy there.

We practiced the play again on Friday. It's at about 75%. That means seventy-five percent of the children know their lines and when to come in. We need that last twenty-five percent for a great play. We will get there. Costuming has been done, and the children all look darling. Next part is back drop and props.

I am working on the summer itinerary. As soon as fees start rolling in, I can be more definite about where we are going and when. The schedule will come out the first week in April no matter what, but many of the trips will be conditional unless fees are in. It's very hard to plan on promises.

Spring Break is the week after the play. We will be in school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and will take a field trip on Wednesday to the Zoo weather permitting. We will be out on Thursday and Friday.

Blessings on a great weekend! See you Monday!
