Friday Update October 28

Happy Halloween and Happy Diwali!  Thank you to all of the parents who came to our Halloween party this morning. We appreciate your time, effort, and yummy (and VERY creative) treats!  We also celebrated a new 5 year old today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCUS!!!!!!!!!

Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday and Tuesday next week.  I will see the kiddos back on Wednesday November 2^nd. We have have a new student named Sanaa joining us that day! She and her family are excited to be a part of our SAS community!

This week some of our learning included…

*making a Get Well book for Gan Poh Suan, one of our cleaning Aunties. She has been on medical leave, and the students made her something to feel better. It was beautiful listening to them talk about what she does in our school.

*painting pictures of pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns, as well as water color painting our own real pumpkin. (The kiddos loved painting, then cleaning it off, then painting again. That pumpkin had a lot of different designs!)

*opening up and carving our pumpkin. When we opened up the top we estimated how many seeds the pumpkin had, then counted (155!) and cleaned the seeds and boted on which face to carve. The students decided on a kitty face, and then we added olive oil and salt to our seeds and baked them. Some of our cuties really enjoyed this tasty snack!  The other seeds we are saving to plant next week.

*..and much, much more!
