Reported by Brown Bear: Mars is the Windy planet.
Reported by Brown Bear: Venus is the hottest planet.
Reported by Brown Bear: The Earth is turning, right now! But we don't fall down because it takes a long time.
Clarification by Brown Bear: It takes a whole day to turn around, but it takes a whole year to turn around the sun.
Clarification by Brown Bear: Yeah, it turns around in a day; it's a night, because it turns its back to the sun.
Reported by Butterfly: The Sun is a star.
Debated by Butterfly: No, it is not; it is the sun, not a star. The sun is round and hot, a star is a star up in the sky. It's not even the same thing.
Debated by Brown Bear: You just can't see it, but you can imagine it.
Home Sweet Home embarks on its' first fieldtrip of the school year with a journey to Chabot Science Center on Wednesday, December 15th to further research our big ideas about stars and light. Children are nto required to attend, and there will be activities in the Butterfly room and playground for people who prefer to stay.
Parent drivers will transport their child and friends for a morning of intense learning, wrapped up by lunch together and instruction on how to recycle our lunch remains. We anticipate leaving HSH by 9:00AM and returning to HSH no later than 2:00PM. Parents are asked to pay $7 by check made out to "Alternatives in Action" (memo: Chabot Science Center)

Mills College Children's School
Hey parents,
This is Allannah, and I want to tell all of you about our class trip to Mills College. So there we were, the five of us in Kathleen's car. We were oblivious of the wonders in our destination to come. We weren't allowed to listen to music, but that only made our trip even more memorable. When we got there, Kathleen introduced us to the vintage buildings, and gave us info on their history. Suddenly, we pull up to the Preschool center, eyes wide in awe. The whole scene was beautiful. You could see trees for miles. After we parked and got our notes together, we slowly walked toward the door, still examining the view. A nice lady named Debbie Brown introduced herself, as we started toward the first room.
Hello you awesome parents!
My name is Corinna. I am a big friend at Home Sweet Home and I am here to share my personal experience from Mills College. I love how the staff arrange their classrooms. The children could go as they please, but of course with adult supervision. I loved to see when all the parents gathered the children and sang songs and had a blast. The trees are the best for me because of how the breeze swept me off my feet. The directer is a very sweet and generous lady, she answered all of our questions and did a tour around the whole school and it was magnificent! Thank you for taking the time to open our letters of gratitude.
Hey this is Keith:
Last week we went on a field trip to Mills College to visit their day-care where I and the other Big Friends found very interesting ideas we would like to bring to Home Sweet Home. Like random days and free flow which means to leave the door open so the kids a choice on where they want to learn, and how to have things that're fun but yet also help them learn. For example: putting paint on some steps and paper on a trampoline and letting them paint their feet and jump. This helps them develop their motor skills and balance, but also lets them have fun while doing it.
