Casa Ginkgo
Children's House (33 months - Kindergarten)
“The child becomes to see that he must respect the work of others; not because someone has said he must, but because this is a reality he meets in his daily experience.” (Modern approach pg. 59)
Greetings Families,
We hope you had a great holiday with your family! The month of December was busy with fun holiday projects, games, songs and laughter. We received the gift of joyful music from Pamela and her friends and we enjoyed many moments of singing in our Casa. Now, we have a brand new year full of new excitement, new adventures and new opportunities to do wonderful things! We are so excited to enter the New Year with your children! We also are excited to welcome our new friend Quinton and his family to Casa Ginkgo in January!
We would like to share with all of you our daily wish that the children recite during lunch time.
“We wish for peace, love, and food for our families and for all of the children of the world.”
“Deseamos paz, amor y comida para nuestras families y para todos los niños del mundo.”
Thank you for attending the Parent Workshop and for allowing your child to show you some of their work during VIP night.
We were able to deliver two loads of over 100 pounds of food to Bountiful Basket! Thank you so much for your generosity during JMS food drive!
Thank you – gracias

Reminders & Special Notifications
· Please arrive on time. Our session begins at 9:00 a.m. A quick and lovely good bye right at the door of the Treehouse or right by the cubbies in Casa Ginkgo will help prevent separation anxiety on some children. An adult will be greeting each student and ready to help them with what they need.
· Please feel free to stop by Casa Ginkgo every time you have an opportunity, it would be nice to say hello and also for you to check our bulletin board updates.
· Thank you for being extra careful and not sending anything that may have Eggs, Peanuts or Tree nuts in their lunch. Your help is truly appreciated it.
· Also, there is no need to send juice boxes in your child’s lunch, we provide milk and water daily. Thank you for preparing well balance lunches.
· All nap items will go home on Friday to be washed, but please be so kind to send them back on Monday.
