Dear Butterfly Nursery Families
I look forward to seeing you at our Advent Garden next Thursday, December 16, at 9am. The Festival takes place at Relles Hall at the Whidbey Island Waldorf School (the new outdoor performance pavilion).
Follow this link for a brief description of the festival and lyrics to many of the songs we will sing.
A number of you attended our parent & child festival last year and the year before, and our nursery festival will be similar--during the daytime, with parents encouraged to sing, and with children sitting with parents in family groups.
Even with the less formal atmosphere (singing rather than quiet music, sitting with parents), some children may find it intimidating to walk the spiral. Even if a child just watches, she or he benefits from the group experience. Because it is a nice rite of passage for a child to walk with a teacher, I will first seek children willing to walk the spiral with me, then children who might be more comfortable walking with a parent.
Grandparents, siblings, and friends are welcome. Kindergarten siblings will have walked the spiral the night before, and some may need to be prepared that our nursery walk is a little bit less formal.
Please contact me with any questions or comments.
With warmth and light,
William Geoffrey Dolde
