Dear Joyful Beginnings families,

Welcome to Joyful Beginnings! We had a wonderful first week. This past week, we were gradually building our daily rhythm and getting used to our inside and outside transition periods. Each child had his/her special symbol in the classroom and they did a great job remembering and finding their symbols. Our new platform in the forest was so beautiful. It was magical to see children taking care of baby dolls, cooking in the mud kitchen, and exploring in the forest. We were reminding the children to stay in our outdoor fences, please help us reinforce this topic at home too. We want to keep them safe in the forest. For our circle time, we did a cute name song to help the children remember each others’ names. Next week, we will introduce our inside classroom toys to the children.

Reminders:

Please pack one or two sets of complete change of clothes in their backpacks.
Please pack a simple and healthy snack. Keep two or three food choices in their snack boxes.
Please apply sunscreen and bug spray before coming to school.
Please label all the belongings.

Thank you very much!

Best,

Ki Siyu and Ki Ieva
