Re: Picnic thursday and lantren walk

Dear Parents

We are going to have the parent evening tomorrow at Charlie's home 407 Fair st Petaluma.

it is a parent night only, no children, I hope you can all come.

we will finish the pumpkins the children wet felted in the fall picnic and talk about the 4 lower senses, mostly the sense of touch, and other parenting questions and concerns parents may have.

We will have our lantern walk in December on Thursday the 11th at walnut park. I do hope you can all come. I am sorry for changing the date again but I want as many families to attend as possible. Grandparents and other family are welcome.

I will send more info about it later but if you want more information now please ask.

remember it is a short week for us we are open Monday Tuesday Wednesday this week.

Happy Halloween

we will have our fall picnic this Thursday from 11:00am to 12:30pm.

we will share food and have 3 crafts to do together.

please bring plates cups and utensils for your family.

our lantern walk will be on 11/13 at oak hill park.

more about this later.

In the mornings, after drop-off, I would like to come in and tell our morning story at 8:45 so please drop off before hand.

if you are late please wait for the curtain to be opened to come in to avoid disruption, and drop-off quickly, it is disruptive to the other children when parents stay a long time at drop off.

The last parent evening was successful and many of you wanted to have more such meetings. Heather and Paul Charlie's parents have offered to host.

out next meeting will be on October 27 7:00pm to 8:30pm at their home 407 fair St. Petaluma ca 94952. the topic will be: foundation for healthy development of young children, the 4 lower senses.

and much time for conversation like we did last time.

please rsvp so I know how many parents to expect.

see you Thursday

Re: Recipe from today's picnic

Thank you Alexis! Those were so delicious as were all the wonderful dishes that people brought. I'd also love to get the recipe for the small stuffed potatoes. Not sure who brought those? :-)

Maayan, thank you for organizing a special time together. The setting was beautiful and the crafts were really lovely. We appreciate all you do!

Hello all! I apologize in advance for sending this out to everyone, but I thought it would be the easiest way to get the recipe for the coconut apricot balls out to those who had asked. 

1 cup dried apricots

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 TBS maple syrup

1 TBS meted coconut oil

Pour all ingredients into a food processor and pulse it all together. Roll into balls and place on a plate. Freeze for an hour, then store in the refrigerator. 

It was great to see everyone today! 

Take care,

Alexis

Potluck next thursday 10/16

Dear Parents

Our fall potluck is next Thursday at 11:00 to 12:30.

We will share some lunch together and have 2 small simple activities to make with the children.

We have collected sunflower seeds from the garden and will fill little bags with some to take home and plant in the spring. we will also fill little bags with lavender that was collected in the garden to take home and enjoy the fragrance.

A note about supervision, when we are all together in a large group, I am here to help, but each parent is responsible for their child, please be mindful of that on Thursday or at pick up times.

Please bring plates and utensils from home to the potluck lunch.

I look forward to Thursday

Warmly

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

Dear parents

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

warmly

Maayan
