Fabulous first week of school!
Our first week is nearing the end, and it has been a fabulous week! The children were excited to come to school, and so were the parents. We enjoyed time together in the classroom, learning about each other and the school day. Those parents who worried about how their child would handle separation were pleasantly surprised!
In the Dolphin and Orca classes we explored potatoes. We washed loads of potatoes that we had harvested from the farm. We tipped out of the pots the potato plants we had planted last spring and discovered white potatoes! The Orcas guessed how many potatoes we would find, and we were all surprised to find 13 beautiful potatoes. We worked together to cut the potatoes, and then we fried them up! YUM!!
The sweet little kids in the Penguin and Sea Otter classes are figuring it all out, and trying everything. They all seem pretty comfortable at school, and it will be so much fun to explore and learn together!
Monday the Dolphin and Orca classes will be helping to harvest 500 ears of corn destined to end up in the public school lunch program. We are excited about doing this! Watch for pictures.
