Dear Nursery Families,
Expect a note from the early childhood teachers this weekend or early next week about grandparents' day in early childhood next Friday. We will not conduct class as usual (and of course our nursery children do not normally attend). Children from our parent & child classes through kindergarten will be invited to attend a mixed age grandparent & child morning from 9 to 10:15am; we will use 1, 2, or 3 classrooms depending on how many early childhood grandparent & child couples or trios or quartets rsvp. Expect more details.
Do also save the date for our Butterfly, Rosebud, Dewdrop, and Community Spring Festival on Friday, March 19, from 9 to 10:30am. It is an outdoor festival for parent (and grandparents and friends) and child; siblings are welcome. Expect more details here, too.
On another note, I have observed in the variety of play this week that has been a pleasure and miracle to watch (continuing the trend) that when conflicts do arise (as they always do, but really pretty infrequently in our group of 12), children are moving pretty quickly to solutions or ways to make the situation fluid and flexible. I don't know if this is because I have a bias and am looking at this because I assigned you homework to avoid figuring out who had things first, or because our work at home is paying off, or because our intention to do this work gives the children confidence to work things out themselves. I will look forward to hearing your observations on March 17.
With warmth and light,
William Geoffrey Dolde
