Dear Parents-
There is not much new to report this week. The children have been working hard in their
Tuckahoe Town groups creating their product.
It has been fun to watch their conceptual ideas come to life and watch
as the kids make adjustments to their original thoughts. Budgets have been set and the reality of how
much things cost is beginning to settle into everyone’s thinking. I hope you will be able to join us for some
great shopping at Tuckahoe Town next Friday, June 15th from
10:30-11:30.
The children have also been working on maps in Math, safety
rules in Health, and practicing their typing skills. We conducted our Family Life discussions
this week. It is our hope that these
preliminary discussions about how our bodies change during puberty will be a
jumping off point for further talks at home.
Mr. Corkins taught the boys this week and I worked with the girls. I was most impressed at the level of maturity
and the level of questions the girls had while we talked. The children also met with Mr. Bowman, our Instrumental Music Teacher, on Monday and learned about the band and orchestra programs available to them next year. Mr. Bowman is testing each child out on different instruments and will be sending home recommended instrument choices should your child wish to participate in either of these programs next year. Please return the slips to me as soon as possible.
Below are important dates for the remainder of the
