On Friday, March 11, Grandparents and other Venerable Friends of our students are invited to our school. While we have no official early childhood classes on that day, we teachers work together to share a variety of experiences with grandparents and their grandchildren. Even though there is no school, if a grandparent is coming, our early childhood children are invited along to share an experience. Our method of sharing changes year to year, but you can plan on something like the following:
At about 9am, grandparents and early childhood grandchildren will come to the Butterfly, Sunflower, and possibly Golden Forest room to engage in activities such as baking bread, finger knitting, touring the rooms, hearing songs we might sing, watching a puppet show or hearing a story, sharing a snack, and more. Not all activities are offered every year.
At about 10am (some years earlier, some years later), parents pick up their children. Grandparents stay for refreshments and brief discussion, are transported to Thomas Berry Hall, watch an grade school assembly, and then enjoy a brunch, lecture, and discussion at Thomas Berry Hall.
We will flesh out and publish details soon. Know for now that grandparents and venerable friends of EC students are cordially invited, even if your child does not have school on Fridays--and remember, no EC students, have school as usual on Friday, March 11.
With warmth and light,
