First day of school



We are off to a terrific start! The kids are so kind and respectful and play well together. We had library today so your child should have 2 library books in his/her backpack. I also sent home a small magnet showing our weekly related arts classes every week to make it easier for you to remember our schedule. Tomorrow we have Art class. If your child has an extra,old T--shirt at home, please consider sending it in for an art smock.

Summer Fun

Dear Families and Friends,
I hope you all enjoyed your long summer vacation and had time to spend it together with friends and family.  Summer is not over yet; we still have a few more days before school starts again, and I hope you will take advantage of this beautiful weather and go outside!

I had a great summer with my family.  I went to London, England, with my daughter Emilie.  We visited my sister, who lives there.  We saw many museums and castles in London.  We also went on a double-decker bus tour around the city.  We had so much fun together!






My parents also visited us here in Vermont.  My parents live in Sweden and they come over every summer for a few weeks.  We had a lot of fun together, hanging by the pool, strawberry picking and working in the gardens.




We are off to New York City today!  We are going to visit our extended family there; cousins, aunts and uncles.  We will also try to see Statue of Liberty and some other sights in Manhattan.

Take care until next time!  I will see you all soon.

Regards,
Maria
