Dear Parents

Congratulations to kaira and her family on the birth of her Baby sister!

At this time of year it is nice to start the day inside. A short goodbye at the back door and the children immediately go into play and work. We play a short game as we come in before we go to play and work. Chopping, baking bread for lunch or snack and setting the table. If you need some time outside with your child you are welcome to a short turn on the swing or visit to the bees and animals but a short goodbye is working well for the whole group.

Their play is wonderful, they are acting out what they experience in their lives and that is exactly what they should do as healthy learning for their development. they are also playing well with one another and invite friends to join.

After story and snack we spend much time outside from 10:30 to 11:45.

I hope you had a wonderful Halloween weekend. here at school we made little pumpkins and I told the story of a mouse a spider a worm and two fire flies that all gather together one by one in a cozy pumpkin home to keep out of the rain and fall wind.

The friends in the story invite each other to join and say: everyone is welcome.

After telling the story for a week we acted it out as a play.

I hope you can all come to the lantern walk on December 11 at Oakhill park in Petaluma.

Many cultures celebrate the light within us at the darkest time of the year and it is a lovely way to honor each person unique self.

we will make lanterns at school to carry as we walk and sing our song together.

we will have another parent evening in January. thank you to Charlie's parents for hosting the last one!

I wish us all  a good week.

Dear Parents

one of the children has Hand foot and mouth. it is a mild virus usually comes as a rash and sores in the mouth. Another one of the childhood viruses kids often get when young.
