Ms. Adriane will be back with the USBorne bookfair the week of 3/28-4/1!

2 of the chicks have hatched! I’m letting them rest under Francesca and Settimia, who are a bonded hen pair—they always go broody and raise chicks together. They are also the dominate hens in the coop. You may remember that Gaga and Lady Grey started this process. Well, these hens took their eggs and finished it!

Hello, dear Parents,

Please access this website to see the latest product recalls. There are a few that might affect children.

Have a wonderful weekend!

It’s almost complete! And it looks great! If you ever need a sign for your business, I can give you their contact info.

The baby chicks are about 3ish days from hatching. We have eight eggs that have been incubated over these last 2 and a half weeks. It would be great to have between 4-5 chicks hatch!

Before a guide touches a student’s work, they wait until they have observed the child’s efforts to solve their own conundrum. As teachers who love children and want to see them succeed, watching their initial struggles can be challenging. We want to help! We want to go touch their work and fix it for them! But doing so would rob the child of an opportunity to establish independence and to build their esteem. And, as I tell new teachers, when your hands touch the work, you are doing the learning and not the child. Yes, things are sometimes difficult. But children learn they are capable! And, if the problem or work frustrates them beyond their current level of understanding or patience, they can always ask a teacher or an older friend for assistance. Often, when we point out just a few points of interest they might have forgotten from the initial presentation, the child’s memory clicks and they no longer require our assistance.

We enjoyed gorgeous sunshine and warming temperatures this morning with an extended playtime. I hope you also enjoy this amazing day.
