Dogs and kittens

Dear Parents,

I have written you individually about some of the play scenarios I have been fortunate to witness.  One pervasive theme has been dog and owner; children are very excited to have a rope tied around their waist (in school dogs have leashes around their waist rather than their neck for safety reasons) and to find another child to be the owner to take them for a walk.  This sometimes evolves into momma and baby dogs keeping house, or momma and baby kittens.

With warmth and light,

William Geoffrey Dolde
