Re: open arms

Dear Parents

Thank you to all the parents who came to the parent evening, I hope the rest can join us next time.

We had good conversation, I hope we can continue to support one another in this important and challenging parenting work!

One thing I want to make sure is that you all feel welcome and not judged.The t.v. and media talk or the gun play or even the how and when to offer choices to the children, are hard topics, and every family has their own way, the most important thing is to see how it impacts our children and decide from watching their behavior what the right approach is for each child.

I have strong feelings about some topics mainly the media, from observing the children play, but don't want anyone to feel that there is a t.v. police here.

With much thanks to you for bringing your children here.

Warmly

Maayan

Just a reminder that we will not get together this Saturday, as I previously wrote in the last e mail, instead we will have a parent night here on Tuesday 9/30 at 7:00 to 8:30 pm.

Our fall picnic/pot luck, will be held here at 11:00 on Thursday 10/16.

More details about the picnic later, but please let me know if you can come to either event.

The topic for the parent evening will be the challenges we have raising our children. I hope we can talk of some of the challenges we have as parents and also come up with some ways to help. I feel we can support each other and help one another so even if you are not feeling particular challenged at the moment your experience can help someone else. I learned a lot from everyone who came to the last parent evening. we will also experience water color painting, an activity the children do here at school.

Have a good weekend

I look forward to see some of you in the morning and next week

Ihsan's Birthday Dance Party This Saturday 2-4pm!

Hello Dear Friends!

Ihsan turned four on Monday and he has been very excited for weeks now about having a dance party with his friends. We didn't nail down final plans until this afternoon so I apologize for the late notice. We sincerely hope you can make it!

Here's the plan:

At 2pm this Saturday (yes, tomorrow), all our sweet little bears and bunnies gather at Dance Underground, 215 North Water St. (below the Thai Issan restaurant). Tutus or pretty dresses are encouraged but not required (Ihsan loves them!)...whatever makes your little one feel happy and ready to dance. The kids all have a fabulous time playing around on the dance floor.

We will have myself, Rebekah, our dear friend Alexandra, and all three of my older daughters to help us hold space for the children to express their highest potential (and to gently keep them from being too rough or rowdy). Parents are welcome but not required to stay with their children.

We're not planning to feed them sweets. We might come up with some non-sugary treat of some kind. We plan to encourage Ihsan to celebrate hobbit-style and make nice presents for his friends. Please do not feel obligated to bring presents; we have more than enough things and your presence is your greatest gift. Thank you!

We will gently wrap things up by 4pm so families can segue into dinner time.

Big love!

~Day (Ihsan's Dad)
