 Thank you to all the families that donated books for our book swap, and thank you to Shawna, Wendy and Robin for helping to set up and assist the children! All the donated books were set up outside in the lunch area. Each Kinder classroom took a turn choosing 8 books from the selection. Can you believe it? We had enough books to give each child (total of 52 children) up to 8 books! How awesome is that?! The children were so excited! Once they chose their books, they sat on the steps and looke...

 This week, the children read Franklin's Christmas Gift. Franklin can't decide what to donate to his school's Christmas toy drive. At first, all of his toys seem too special to give away, then nothing seems special enough. With some inspiration from his Great Aunt Harriet, Franklin finally comes up with the perfect gift. This Christmas, we'd like to do the same - donate to a toy drive. Have your child choose ONE toy he/she currently owns, but no longer wants. Gift wrap the toy and bring it to ...

 Our visit to Connolly Ranch today was fantastic! The children got to brush and feed the donkeys and goats. They also fed the cow and horse some hay through the fence. The children loved the cow's big, rough tongue! Our guide, Mr. Michael, took us to the duck pond to see and learn about the ducks and geese. Some children even pet one of the geese! We saw chickens and turkeys, and got to visit the barn cat. Then things really got dirty! We used shovels to dig holes in the garden, and then plant... Continue reading ...
