A Happy Day Indeed!

We had another good day at Veritas. The children had fun playing grammar "around the world" and listening to another chapter of Teddy's Button. The most fun, however, came as we celebrated the birthday of our classmate, Hunter. Thanks to Mandi Wiggins (Hunter's mom), we had our snack outside, which consisted of cookie cake, chips, and a fruit drink. As evidenced by the big bag of candy your child brought home, we also had a pinata. The children enjoyed singing to Hunter and celebrating his special day.

Please feel free to send a special treat for the class on your child's special day. We always welcome the opportunity to celebrate one of our classmates. If you would let me know in advance that you will be sending something special for your child's birthday, it will allow me to plan our day appropriately.

I was very impressed by the children's reading logs. Please continue to encourage your children to read everyday. A book that has aided me in selecting books for Jack is Gladys Hunt's Honey for a Child's Heart. Available on amazon.com for under $10, this book contains age appropriate book lists, as well as encouragement for parents to read to their children. You may even be able to find this book at your local library should you be interested.

I hope each of you have had a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
