This past week was a real eye opener. We have a lot of very young children, and they are tackling this play like pros. I'm so proud of some of the kids and how quickly they are learning lines and the right inflections. Some of the lines are downright funny. So proud, so proud.
We are learning how to project and how to not upstage one another. We will get play places this coming week, and use the full carpet. Last week, we sat around the carpet in a ring on the edge to give one another attention and support. This week, it's on to the big times!
On Tuesday, we were able to take the children to the zoo for a special Philharmonic presentation called the Lollypop concert. It was great fun. They did the Carnival of the Animals, and we got to travel the zoo to find all the animals in the carnival. The kids really enjoyed this.
The weather has been spiky and there are times when we need jackets and other times when we don't. It's been odd, and we have given the children a choice. This seems to work well. If a child is wearing a short sleeved shirt, we make him wear a jacket. This week the weather is going to climb into the seventies, so no coats will be needed.
We are trying new foods at school, and the children are really responding to new things well. It's been a joy to serve new treats like meatballs and different kinds of crisps better known at the Garden School as "Critters."
Candy sales need to come in because we need to pay the bill. If you have candy sales, please bring them in.
We serve breakfast at 8:00. If your child wakes late, please consider letting him eat at school. We MUST offer every child food at school, and the plate waste is terrible.
Hoping you have had a great weekend.
