Dear Joyful Families,

We had a beautiful Valentine’s Day celebration with the children on Monday and Tuesday. Thank you to the families who contributed to our tea party by bringing fresh baked treats; they were delicious! The children loved having a formal tea party, and were so gentle in their handling of the fancy china. In addition, the children made bookmarks with their thumbprints fashioned into the shapes of little hearts to give to their loved ones. Ki Gabby was generous in facilitating this craft, and even laminated the bookmarks so they can be enjoyed for years to come.

We’ve now wrapped up our Grandmother February story, and will be looking forward to new stories and circle songs when we return from the break. As the seasons change, we always make sure to reflect that in the curriculum.

Enjoy your time off, families & have a beautiful week!

Friday, March 11 is a teacher-inservice day; there is no school
Friday, April 1 is a half-day and Grandfriends’ Tea Day (more info to follow)
Parents, please take time to listen to this podcast over break : How to Compete with the Stimulation of Screens | Nicholas Kardaras, Ph.D. | The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast - S3 E3 https://pod.fo/e/10625a

In gratitude,

Ki Jessica, Ki Gabby, Ki Ieva
