Yesterday the Lavender classroom hosted a semi-formal affair. The children who are graduating and moving on to first grade exhibited some of their finest work. There was homemade snacks, beautiful flowers, and plenty of socializing. It was a great event. Thank you to all to joined us! True serving some sliced bananas. The excited and dressed up crowd.

Truman’s presentation of “Things that Live in the Ocean”.Annabel’s illustrated alphabet. More guests (and look at all those paper chains!)

Yesterday Kai’s grandpa, Earl, came to Puddletown with his marvelous collection of rocks. He shared fossils, geodes, petrified wood, and more. We heard about where he and his family found some of the rocks and learned that the geode, also known as a thunder egg, is the Oregon state rock. At the end of his visit, he gave us 2 big bins of rocks to keep at Puddletown. Many hugs were exchanged. Thanks Earl!!

The children are excited for many of their parents to get together this weekend to support Puddletown at the second annual Puddletown Hall. They have been decorating coffee and flour bags, grinding wheat berries and coffee beans, and churning butter. Some children have been working on sewing projects and book making that they plan to donate to the fundraiser. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
