Pudgies

For several years now, at the beginning of the school year, the elementary students have been given stuffed animals . Each child gets to choose their own animal from a line of particularly soft, chubby animals called “Plumpies”. We, however, have always called them “Pudgies”, because the first year we had them, Terry made a mistake about what they were called and the name stuck.

The children leave their pudgies at school until they graduate into middle school. Being presented with their pudgy to take home, has become part of our 5th grade graduation ceremony. In the meantime, though, the pudgies can be cuddled during movie times, played with during free time, and even dressed up.

Karate belts on pudgies were very popular this past week.

Friday Science Class for the Elementary

Every Friday, the elementary students have science class with Pat. Today’s subject was calcium and bones.

I think the most fun the children had today, was when Pat had them each put two Tums in the bottom of a film container. They then poured vinegar over the Tums and put the lid on the container. A chemical reaction caused the pressure to build up inside the container, until the lid shot up into the air.

The First Day for Elementary

Today was the first day of school for the elementary students at Trilogy. We spent the day getting to know each other, since we have several new children this year. We also talked about being good friends. The characters from Winnie the Pooh were used as examples of how people who have very different personalities can still be friends.

Beautification Day 2011

Every year, just before school starts in the fall, parents and students come together to make Trilogy a better place. Today was that day.

Dusting and organizing books, polishing windows and scrubbing walls, even laying new mulch on the playground.

The jobs go quickly when there are friends around to joke with. As I walked around the school, taking pictures, everyone was in a good mood.

Finally, the happy, but exhausted, students are able to collapse and have a well earned rest.

What’s Happening Now

There are only two weeks left until the beginning of another school year. The teachers at Trilogy are hard at work sorting and packing last year’s books, projects, and decorations.

They are cleaning all the classroom shelves, in preparation for all the new materials that will soon fill them.

Excitement is building, as new schedules are being discussed and new classes and staff are added. One change in elementary is the addition of a new Spanish teacher, who will also be teaching music every Friday.

We’re really looking forward to seeing all the children again soon!

One Hundred Years From Now
(excerpt from “Within My Power” by Forest Witcraft)

One Hundred Years from now
It will not matter
what kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
how much money was in my bank account
nor what my clothes looked like.
But the world may be a better place because
I was important in the life of a child.
