Friday's Tattler

This has been a surprising week with Campaign speeches on Monday and the Election on Tuesday. The children each knew who they wanted to vote for without hesitation. Every child knew what he was doing and went about his business with intent.

Garrett won the Presidency, and Kayla won the Vice Presidency. We are so proud of these children. They are truly loved.

The children have learned a lot of their lines for the play and have gotten some really excellent coaching from Miss Lisa. She is a natural director. She is so alive and earnest when she directs the children, I am thrilled to see a young person take so much interest and do such a good job.

It's a longer play this year, and the characters are delightfully cast. The costumes are coming along nicely. It's a group effort.

We should be ready by the 18th for a great production. This year we will move the stage way back into dress up so that more parents can be more comfortable watching.

We culminated the week with a Knowledge Bee involving play lines. The kids gobbled up the poker chips every time it was their turn to recite a line.

There is not a lot of time for much more than play practice during the week. We have done some art and played a lot outside when the weather permitted. There are some classes in the a.m. and we are trying to get some music sung in the p.m., but mostly, we are working on the play.

The kids are really enjoying the egg rolls we are making on Thursdays. It's been fun to see them taste with delight.
