Tuesday

     Some of you may have noticed the children gathered at the gate/fence at 8:40 this morning. We celebrated "Imagine Whirled Peace" by placing pinwheels the older children at school made in art class all along the fence. We helped hang them on the fence and got the whole school together to sing "The Big One". Some teachers were taking pictures so I hope to gather some up soon and add them to the blog.
     As always, we began our classroom time with our morning meeting lead today by Tallulah. We then worked in small groups sorting blocks by color and building during MWS. We took a break to eat our fruit break and have recess. After fruit break recess, we went to Drama class with Julie. Today, the children traveled from one place to another in the room while pretending to be something of their choosing. Julie uses this activity to teach the children spacial relationships and self control. Some of the answers I got when I asked the children what they pretended to be were:  ballerina, snail, camel, princess, frog, and bat. Ask your child what they pretended to be in Drama class! Julie uses this activity to teach the children spacial relationships and self control.
     After Drama, the children had Spanish with Elena. Unfortunately, we were so wrapped up in what we were in Drama, we ran out of time to talk about what we did in Spanish! They came back very happy and excited so I feel confident it must have been something fun! :)
    
     Be on the lookout for more information pertaining to Fall Festival this week. I plan to send home our first F.Y.I. within the next couple days.

As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
