Wonderful Wednesday!

Hello Rainforest Room!

We had a wonderful Wednesday! Our DI groups are working like clockwork, everyone is focusing, on task, and actively learning. Look for their work in the manila envelopes that were sent home today. Also, those must come back. They are to be used every week. The all school Pow-Wow was fun as usual and Genesis was brave enough to sing a song in front of the entire school.

On Tuesday, we worked on our All About Me books. If you could, please send in pictures, clips, or copies of your child's hobbies, family, and baby prints. Those are all needed. Prints are better than actual pictures as it will be pasted.

Thank you to Drisana who has been lugging the recycling to the station. We have made a whopping $8.00!!! So, I have encouraged our kids to be creative. Ask neighbors (with you of course) friends, relatives, and just be more conscientious in your homes of bringing in the recycling. Please if you could wash them so they are not juicy! Also, milk containers are not accepted.

We are coming up on the last week of October. It will be a fun week. We have two field trips and Halloween. On the Tuesday of that week, we will be going to City Farms in the afternoon to prep for our next project: the Intergenerational Garden. We need drivers. On Thursday, we are going to the zoo. We need chaperones. I am wanting 5 or 6 volunteers, so that we can split our class into groups of 3 and 4. We will have a fun and safe trip that way. On Friday (Halloween), kids can come in costumes and we will allow candy on that day. If you do not celebrate Halloween, you have the option of keeping your child home, we will not be doing much academia on that day, due to the disruptive nature of costumes and candy. If you don't celebrate Halloween, though and want your child to come to school, unfortunately, we don't have the staff to provide them with alternative activities.

If you are wanting to contribute, we need whiteboard markers (colors please) and Halloween candy.

The kids have been getting here on time and I appreciate that! We are having such a great time! If you wanted to come in and observe, please email me back or call and we can arrange a time, (858) 568-6335.

In Joy, Beauty, and Vitality,
