Dear parents
It's is great to be back with the children, they all grew so much over the break!
Thank you for the gifts, cards and warm wishes we received before the holiday break.
We are back to our usual rhythm with a new story and new winter songs, and we are painting with red and blue to discover purple.

We will have another parent evening soon I will give the date as soon as I have it.
On another note one of the children had lice at home. I cleaned and washed here, and checked the children that came to school yesterday and I will continue to do so until we are sure no one got it. It is very rare in preschool, in 8 years teaching I have not had more then just one other scare and no one got it here.
If you have questions about it please ask me I will be happy to help and give advice.
Warmly
Maayan

Ok my mistakeWe will meet at oak hill park on Wednesday not Thursday 4:45Maayan
Sent from my iPhoneDear parentsWe will meet next Thursday 12/17 at 4:45 at oak hill park in Petaluma for our lantern walk. We will have some warm cider and then we will begin our lantern walk.We will walk up towards the stone labyrinth and can walk the labyrinth or walk around it.Once we light our lanterns and start our walk you can join me in a song.It will be the same song we sang last year:I walk outside with my lantern,My lantern is walking with me.Above the stars are shining bright,Down here on earth shine we2x So shine my light in the darkest nightLa bimba La bmba La boomIt is an easy song and we repeat it over and over and will not be hard to learn.You may invite family members, all are welcome to join. It is a special event for me, celebrating the light that shines in all of us, and units us.I like celebrating our lantern walk as part of the holiday season, it reminds me of what is important at this time, kindness and love for one another.with loveMaayanOn Tuesday, December 2, 2014 7:01 AM, michael schoeman <schoeman@att.net> wrote:
Dear ParentsOur lantern walk is just a week away, on Thursday evening at 5:00pm at Oak Hill park in Petaluma.The children worked hard on their lovely lanterns and we are singing our lantern song in preparation for the walk.(we will meet even if it is drizzling but if it is hard rain we will have to postpone)The lantern walk is a wonderful celebration of each of us inner light, how unique and different we all are yet we share a bright light that connects us to each other.We will walk together with our lit lanterns on a path lit with luminaries, singing a song together.I believe it is a lovely way to start the holiday season.We do not celebrate one particular holiday at play garden but the common thread in many holidays at this time of the year, which is the light at the darkest time of year.One tradition I do love is lighting a candle each week leading to the holiday break to celebrate the mineral kingdom, plant kingdom, animal kingdom and finally one for Humanity.We will make candles in the next few weeks for the children to take home.Please look at our holiday calendar on the website so you are aware of the breaks we take during the school year.I look forward to the coming weeks with all the fun crafts and stories I share with the children.I have one request, after pick up, though I don't want anyone to feel unwelcome, if your children still would like to play together please do so at the park or at your home. When they play here while I have children getting ready for nap the noise creates a distraction.Thank you for the time Barb and I spend with your children.BestMaayan
