Birthday Blessings for Students with September Birthdays!

We celebrated 3  September birthdays this week.  We offered blessings, danced birthday dances and viewed baby pictures and other momentos of when the children were babies. Happy Birthday to these 3!

Ladybugs

Some of the children enjoyed playing in the leaves today.  Surprise!  Under the leaves we discovered ladybugs!

We Have Been Playing Outside and Getting Smarter!

Outside Play Builds BETTER BRAINS!

You know that physical activity builds stronger muscles, but did you know that it also builds better brains?

What makes us move is also what makes us think. Certain kinds of exercise can produce chemical alterations that give us stronger, healthier, and happier brains. A better brain is better equipped to think, remember, and learn." (Ratey, 2001, p. 178)"

A New Year Begins!

Mrs. W and I have spent four lovely days visiting with our new students.  What great families!  We look forward to getting to know everyone better this coming year!
