White Sparkle Horses News Sept. 18, 2010




I was delighted with the turnout for our class meeting. I hope those of you who attended felt it was a good use of your time. It’s always a balancing act – to give enough information without overwhelming you with tangents and histories. One thing I forgot to tell you was to take a good look at your fellow kindergarten parents. Our experience tells us that these people will be with you in the child-raising journey for a long time to come.

This week brings our first field trip. On Wednesday we will visit the Birch Aquarium, view the exhibits, and participate in a hands on workshop about tide pool animals. Please send your children in comfortable shoes and sunscreen them. Most of the exhibits are inside, but we will eat our snack, our lunches, and have a bit of running around time on the patio. We may return as early as 2pm, but I indicated 3pm to be on the safe side.

On Tuesday our school recognizes International Peace Day with a whole school assembly. The classes each perform or lead a song or poem to celebrate peace. The kindergarteners will sing, “Make New Friends.” You are welcome to join us. Expect to be crowded, and to stand. It’s quite a trick getting all of the classes into the auditorium at the same.

I now have a camera, so I am able to share with you the first in a series of photos of White Sparkle Horses enjoying kindergarten.
