Renee is back for the summer and everyone is so excited – this makes our student/teacher ratio nearly 1 to 5! We will be doing some special one on one tutoring in the afternoons during open classroom.

This morning we were greeted with three brand new guinea pig babies.  (We got to see the placentas too.  It was so cool.)  We were so excited to have them after our first guinea pig litter didn’t make it and after the recent death of our beloved bun.  We actually had just finished their new improved, bigger house – just in time.

Come by and say hi.  They are too cute for words.

"The struggle is essential."

What We’re Reading

This year we are traveling on a Roald Dahl adventure. We started with Fantastic Mr Fox, then we read James and the Giant Peach, then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, then Dirty Beasts and now we're on to The BFG. We will also have been cooking from the Roald Dahl cookbook with Amalie's mom and working on many other projects surrounding this book theme. Fairytales (Jack and the Beanstalk, The Little Match Girl, The Princess and the Pea, The Frog Prince and Hansel and Gretel, The Snow Queen, The Little Match Girl, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Little Mermaid (a little Hans Christian Andersen fun).)

What We’re Listening To

Where the Forest Meets the Sea by Jeannie Baker. Power and Glory by Emily Rodda. The Watertower by Gary Crew. My Place in Space by Robin and Sally Hirst. Magpie Island by Colin Theile
