Watching Maypole tomorrow, meeting follow-up to come

Dear Families,

An early childhood newsletter will come out next week, and I will include an approximate summary of yesterday's meeting along with some follow-up texts (I hope to publish Jack Zipes' ancient version of "Red Riding Hood" in which the young girl saves herself). It came to my attention that parents were not able to download "Fielding Children's Dreams" from Whole Child/Whole Parent. I gave printed copies to parents present at the meeting and will put a copy in your folder if you were not present. If you were able to download or view "Fielding Children's Dreams," please let me know.

As you may have observed, the big Maypole stands near our classroom, ready for Sunday's Mayfaire from 11am to 3pm. On this Tuesday, from 11:45 to 12:30pm, our nursery class will watch the elementary grades practice for Mayfaire. We will give our children the option of watching from inside or outside (William outside, Kim inside, for example). This will be instead of our rest and fairy tale (with the festivities, music, and dancing outside our window, it would be unwise for me to try to present our quiet end of the morning in the usual way). As such, please look for your child outside first as you come to pick up tomorrow.

With warmth and light,

William Geoffrey Dolde
