It was a fun week. We began the week with a nice morning schedule of arithmetic, reading and writing. Then a brief recess followed by a lively music class. Then lunch. We had easy children's dishes this week of spaghetti, Polish sausage, Leigh's lunch or breakfast for lunch, and baked chicken on Thursday and bacon pizza on Friday.
In the afternoons, our "program" has been lots of fun. On Monday, Mrs. St. Louis taught the War of the Angels from Revelations. The children made and angel and then wrote a little sentence about what they had heard.
On Tuesday, Miss Judy taught a class on Pasta. We talked about the many kinds of pasta, how you cook it, how you eat it, and where it comes from, who eats it, and originally how Marco Polo brought it back from China.
On Wednesday, we had a class on Oil Slicks and how this affects animals. Mr. Denny showed the children how nasty oil could be on some plastic animals. Then the children bathed the animals to remove the oil. They talked about what people can do to help the animals. The children loved this.
Miss Dayna talked to the children about homes and families on Thursday, and then the children took wall paper and made a beautiful house collage with Miss Nita's help.
On Friday, we gave all the children who have kept their medals all week a gold bead. The children were delighted. We then had a whole school bee and asked about all they had learned this week. The winners of the bee were: Alexis, Ely, Edan and Jayce. We congratulate them for their fine work.
In the afternoon on Friday, we had story time with Mr. Denny, and an ice cream party. So...all in all a very satisfactory week.
Have a great weekend!
