Breakfast with Someone Special
Did everyone who attended the Breakfast enjoyed it as much as my kids enjoyed hanging out with their friends on a non-school day?
It was an exhausting day for the parents who volunteered and ran the event. It was very nicely done, (pat on the back of our School Co-President, Sandy Gibson) and fun was had all round.
The entertainment by Mr. George, at halftime, was a nice end to a wonderful breakfast.
To all the parents and students who attended, thank you!

End of Observation Week
Did everyone had fun observing and participating with their child during observation week.
I sure did at least for 2 of my 3 kids. Jolly observed Theresa in Mrs. Park's class, hence I have no first hand report to blog about.
Isabelle in Mrs. Hepler class was doing her lessons with a lot of focus compared to me who was distracted by the Bolt conversation that was going on and a spill on the floor. Isabelle was not fazed by the going ons around her. Isabelle and I did a snowman coloring, a number tracing, used our tweezers on some innocent looking sardines and we read a book about bugs together. It was wonderful to have a one-on-one with Isabelle as it gets hard with 3 kids around all the time. Seeing a side of her working well and focusing on her lessons. I am very proud of Isabelle and all that she has accomplished under Mrs. Hepler's guidance.
Jonathan in Ms. Lauren's class was surprisingly collected. I had envisioned him just clamoring to go home the moment he saw me, just goes to show that what we fear might not be reality. Jonathan and I worked on several different puzzles, used a little hand sweeper to clear up little debris from the floor, polished a shoe and even squeegeed the classroom mirror. Jonathan is growing up learning new skills every day and confidence in doing them. He still has a lot to learn and under Ms. Lauren's firm but patient hand, he will get there.
Ah, how I love school. Glorious school...

Birthday Books
My son turned 2 over the weekend and his current fascination with dinosaur prompted me to pick up the above books to be donated to Ms. Lauren's class library. Hopefully Jonathan will learn from his favourite animals how to behave in school and cultivate some table manners... One can always hope, right?

Fruit Day
Psst...
I just got this information from Sandy Gibson. I am so guilty of always seeing the notice for Fruit Day but always meant to ask but never did.
So, here it is..
Fruit Day falls on the first Thursday of each month.
Each child is encouraged to bring in some fruit to prepare and share with their friends in class. You do not need to bring in enough fruit for the entire class as the goal is for everyone to share the fruit they brought in with their friends.
The first fruit day of the year is just 4 days away.
