Week 12/9/24
Saturday 12/14 Make/Take Morning Class 9:00am12:30pm +Night Out 5-8:30pm
Good afternoon,
Thanks to all of the moms who attended our Women’s Night Out Friday at KindFolk—it was a lovely time! For the folks who had to miss, we hope we can make this a regular offering soon.
We were grateful for all of the rain this weekend, despite the chilly temps! The garden peas, lettuce, and carrots are doing well as a result. Strangely, our peach tree has a new blossom?!?
We have a busy Saturday day this week starting with a morning Make and Take class where children will construct and decorate Buche Noel (Yule Log) Cakes, which is a rolled vanilla cake with buttercream and chocolate ganache made to look like a tree branch. The children will be able to decorate it with a variety of items, and it will go home ready to serve! Saturday evening, we have our last Night Out of 2024 from 5-8:30pm. Both events are great opportunities for parents to finish holiday errands, wrapping, or even take a breather from everything!
Mr. Jesse and Isaac have been busy building concrete forms for the room enclosure, preparing to pour concrete later this week. The kids are enjoying asking questions about the building process, tools used, etc.!
We hope you have a great week,
Leslie, Iris and Olivia
