Soon we will be adding a page for parents where classrooms post stories about their day. Here is a sample of what’s to come:

Today is Monday, February 25, 2013

It hailed at playtime. When it fell down on us it kind of hurt; it was very cold. We got to eat some hail out of the wagon, the big wagon! We made a waterfall outside by filling a giant bucket and pouring water down the hill.

We got to sing “Mango Fandango” and Amy brought all the fruits in the song except cherries and qunice. We had mango, papaya, blueberries, coconut, raspberries, banana, oranges, lemon, and kiwi. We are going to turn all the fruits into a fruit salad to eat on Thursday.

In extended day we are reading and listening to Bach. We are reading Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary.

There were two observers today: Alec’s mom and Eme’s grandma. Alec’s mom is called Callie and Eme’s grandma is called Ann.

We have welcomed 2 new students to our community this January. Each time new children join us, there is a great sense of excitement. The current children get a chance to talk about and practice what they know about being a helper and active part of the classroom. Today as our newest student, Lena, found her way, she had so many eager “experts” to show her where to get a drink of water, what to do if you want snack, how to return something to the shelf, and on and on.

When the children came outside, we talked about bouncing a little softer on the suspension bridges while Lena got used to them. All of the children immediately and joyfully complied. Many offered a helping hand as Lena fearlessly put one foot in front of the other.

Welcome Lena and Sophia! We’re happy you’re here!
