Hello Families, December
11, 2015
The holidays are here! We had a wonderful visit from
Middle School students for St. Nicholas Day, with ginger cookies and a good
story. Thank you!! We’re also enjoying reading Hanukkah stories, working with the
menorah, dreidels, and making latkes. They’ve been a big hit, mostly with
applesauce, yum! After reading aloud Tomie dePaolo’s The Art Lesson, a brief
autobiography (from when he was about 5 years old), the children met up with
their elementary partners to share ideas on writing a short autobiography. It’s
fun and another opportunity to work with the school’s elders! Number work and
afternoon handwriting have also been part of the week, along with frequent
creative endeavors in art, with inset drawings, and story writing. Also, Taco
Tuesday is a success in Primary, with such comments as “I love these!” and disappointment
to learn it is only scheduled once per month. Thank you, to the student RRCC!
This warmer weather has us all having fun outside, around and on the
playgrounds. Having found an intact orange just behind the playground, we
continue our observations of plant debris left outside over time. Congratulations
to Adelaide’s family. She is now a big sister to her new baby sister, Scarlett
Helen! Cyndy is away now until January. It’s great Fatima can join us until the
holiday school break. Monday, come see us and our building project at
Parent-Child Afternoon (at your time, 3:15 or 4:15) ! May your week ahead be
filled with restful moments at this busy time of year. Peace and take care,
Maureen, Jess, Rachel and Cyndy
