On Tuesday, the children went on a field trip to Shop Rite! They were excited about hearing the milk in the coconut, seeing the lobsters, and seeing the inside of the big Shop Rite truck! Trying out the scanner and being a “cashier” was a definite highlight!

When they entered the room on Thursday, it the room was transformed! Instead of block area, there was a floral dept, a dairy dept and nearby, the bakery! At the bakery, the bakers had warm, vanilla scented homemade playdough with which they made cookies, breads, rolls… whatever their imaginations could create!

Today’s my day set aside to update the blogs.. what we’ve been doing curriculum-wise, where we’re going… but I have to say first, I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!

Ok, Yes, I’m the Director, AND the teacher… but I’m also a former helping parent. Over the past 12 years, I’ve seen some of the positives and the negatives of being in a parent co-op. Believe me, the positives far out-weigh the negatives!

Or in our case…Ms Postwoman?

On Thursday we walked to the Rocky Hill Post Office to mail the cards we made for our families!

The walk there was more adventurous than usual… (Including trips with my own children, I think this was my ninth? trip there…) There were some slippery patches which made the walk interesting! Everyone was holding onto a “ring” on our walking rope, so no one fell too hard! (For some, that was the favorite part of the trip!)
