Lots in the hopper this week. We accomplished some good reading and writing work, and incorporated some painting into the mix. The children are all very accomplished in what they can do. We noticed a lot of creativity and nice handwriting this week. The portfolios the children are making are getting big and stuffed. These portfolios will go home with the child on awards day. Please be patient with us.
Isaac is reading "My Father's Dragon" which is a third or fourth grade level book. Worked on a word bingo, and Jasmin was our winner. Isaac did well and Emily did very well too.
We had two births in the pet room this week. We had guinea pigs born - eight. If anyone would like a young pig, we have four to give away. Guinea pigs are herd animals and need to go in pairs or they die of loneliness. Guinea pigs do not need to be caged. They are delightful in a small corner bricked in with three levels of bricks. They don't climb. They eat anything but potatoes and require a little grain. They are really nice little animals.
This week we had a little to do about wearing shorts. Shorts are mandatory for school during the hot weather. It is unsafe and hygienically unsound for children to wear winter clothes during hot and sultry days - no matter what the children prefer. To pass out or become over heated or dehydrated for "a child's taste in clothes" is a big NO at school.
Summer is quickly upon us. Please remember to get your summer fees in soon.
Have a great weekend!
