I’m glad to have been back for this great week. We had a lot of fun & learned a little too.
We started our week with visits from our two toddler friends that will be moving up on May 1st - Rhys’ little brother Ian and Marin.
On Wednesday, we celebrated Earth day with a visit from JoHo the storyteller and all learned to how to be a C.H.E.R.U.B. (Children Helping the Earth Remain Utterly Beautiful.) We even had parts in all the stories, some of us were lions, elephants, geese, polar bears and trees. All the children have planted grass heads that they will get to bring home once they sprout some hair. They will need regular haircuts just like the grass in our yards.
Thursday was a very exciting day. Cece started the day by giving a presentation on a special research project she has been working on about domestic cats during morning circle. Then a visit from Delta Dental’s Tooth Wizard and his nasty pal the Plaque man. We learned how to take care of our teeth and send the Plaque man packing; some of us even had a chance to brush huge teeth & be a part of the floss lesson. Before lunch Ms. Victoria’s son Jackson came to class as part of “Bring Your Child To Work” day and did a PowerPoint presentation and read a story to us about Australian animals. He wants to be a teacher when he grows up and had a chance to see what it would be like. He left us a great book for our class to read year after year. Then at the end of the day, we had Ms. Lora’s Celebration of Life and shared in her wonderful news that she will soon be a mom.
Our new Eden Alley lunch program is going great; just remember to sign up on the Galaxy Room list by 10:30. The food comes piping hot on our new plates everyday at 12:30.
This next week we will begin practicing for our International day performance on Friday, May 22nd. Please let me know if your child will not be here that day to perform or if they are planning to attend and this isn’t a regularly scheduled day for your child. We will be performing a children’s traditional Hula dance. The performance will be at 11am in the Fillmore Chapel. After the performance, all presentations that the children and their families have done will be on display in the hallway and classroom D. You are not required to do this, but the children seem to really enjoy putting together a display or even just making a dish from a country that they are from or one they want to know more about. Families have brought everything from family photos and favorite dishes to doll collections, music, and even a brick pyramid. Some people choose to do a poster board or even a photo spread presentation. If you will need anything special for yours please let me know and most of all have fun with it.
Snack & participation list will be up by Friday of this week. Please try to bring items in early; we are out of most snack foods.
Namaste,
Ms. Mel
Ms. Lora
