PUMPKINS
Please remember a pumpkin for your child this Monday. Please label. 7th graders will help us carve a pumpkin.
REMINDERS -- MEETING AND LANTERN WALK
On November 6 (a week from Tuesday), we will combine for a kindergarten class meeting. Time will be 6:30 to 8pm (note later start time). I will guide parents in a compassionate response meditation (work of Kim Payne), we will share success stories inspired by Kim Payne, Dyanne will talk about the lantern walk and Advent spiral (coming in December), and we will provide time for holiday workshop and other planning on the part of parents.
Our Lantern Walk will be at Maxwelton Beach (note location) on Friday, November 9, from 4:30-5:30pm. Expect a fuller description soon.
APPRECIATION -- birthdays and inside
We have started our inside days with birthday celebrations, including a double one. Often the additional tasks of the birthday can make the days feel stressful and hurried. While I have put great thought into simplifying and clarifying the rhythm of the day (inspired by Kim Payne and others), last Wednesday and Thursday had the potential to become chaotic--only because I had given me and Molly and the children more to accomplish than was reasonable to accomplish in the morning. It is with awe and appreciation that I observed the children remain calm, engaged, cooperative, imaginative, and playful. What a blessing to be in their presence.
