Greetings, Dear Honeybee Families,
We had a full week of sweet celebrations! We celebrated Amelia’s 6th birthday on Monday and Nicholas’s 5th birthday on Wednesday. We enjoyed listening to stories from their childhoods and making birthday wishes for our dear friends. Thank you also for all the love and for sending flowers and gifts with your child to celebrate my birthday; it was much appreciated. We shared the cantaloupe and chocolate banana bread with the children, which was delightful!
Last week, we visited a new section of the creek called “Kindy Beach.” It was nice to spend time there in the morning while the weather was still cool. By afternoon, we were inside, and the children were busy building forts with pillows and chairs. They also worked together to complete a 100-piece puzzle of the world with pictures of various animals and matching animal figures that could be placed in the area of the world they live in. Our class has an extensive vocabulary when it comes to their knowledge of the animal kingdom.
This week, we will share a puppet play of the story the children have been listening to called “Stone Soup.” It is a classic, and the children love hearing it! It also helps the students feel more inclined to taste our vegetable soup, which we now call “Stone Soup”. The children were full of glee when they discovered an actual stone in our soup bowl.
Please save the date for our Curriculum Night on September 5th (adults only, please). We will gather together to review our daily rhythm, learn the value of practical work for the students, and more!
