I hope you have been enjoying the snow and the holidays. I look forward to seeing you and your children in the New Year.
As I wrote in my separate email, we will welcome at least one new child, hopefully 3 new children, to our class in January. Because of first day of school is Wednesday, January 7, it makes the most sense for me involve parents in a field trip. This will help with the transition not only for new children but also for our current nursery children who are coming back after a weather-lengthened break.
We have been invited by a family new to the island and our school to the land they help tend. The address is 6253 Maxwelton Road. Look for the yellow house at the corner of Maxwelton and Campbell. We will have 30+ acres of diverse land to explore, chances to work and play outside, and a beautiful converted barn space to come to for shelter (some of you may be familiar with this space because children's yoga classes have been taught there in the past). Depending on the weather, I will provide some sort of musical and/or narrative and/or theatrical welcome to the year.
So that families have time to drop off and pick up siblings at school, our field trip will take place from 9am to 12pm. Younger siblings are welcome. Plan to meet at the lands and Maxwelton and Campbell. Bring hiker's snacks to share as well, please. If you are unable to stay with your child on that morning, please try to find another parent to share care for your child or contact me 443-257-4703. Kim and I will also be available to help if you cannot be present with your child. Also contact me if you seek transportation to the lands at Maxwelton and Campbell.
With warmth and light,
William Dolde
