THANKSGIVING We have no nursery class on November 21 to 24. School is closed.
TRANSFORMATION Breaks, such as the one in 8 days, and the three week break over Christmas--and, indeed, the wisdom that comes from this inner time of year--often create remarkable transformations in the play and social work and imagining of a group of young children. It has been a joy to watch the flow and transformations in our social interactions thus far, and I expect great shifts and fluidity in the months ahead.
UPDATE I try to avoid overburdening inboxes. From time to time a parent & child question inspires a response that makes me think, "Some nursery families might like to read about this, too." I will be sending along such an update in a few minutes.
