Dear Parents,
Lynne and parents have given me some clarifications about the clothing. Sweaters over overalls are not necessarily a problem--Lynne can often reach under and unhook the sweaters. Belts, full bod
y underwear, anything that requires a child to be basically stripped in order to use the bathroom can be very challenging. Lynne is very glad to help children; children also like to do things for themselves and sometimes show intense frustration if their admirably warm clothes hinder their independence too much. Again, it is always a question of balance.
We do have school on Monday. It is not likely that our class will join the grades classes for an assembly related to the spirit of Martin Luther King. I will probably play and sing songs from Rise Up Singing that would likely have been meaningful to King and his followers, bringing a bit of the mood of the day without throwing children too much off their secure rhythm
Blessings on your weekend,
William
