Dear Joyful Beginnings Bluebirds Families,

We were delighted to see you last Saturday during our Kingdom of Halloween festival. The event was magical, and the experience was incredible. We hope you and your children all had a great time. Thank you to those of you who were able to join in at our Community Meeting last night, too.

We had some chilly weather last week. Thank you very much for dressing your children in layers. They all looked so cozy in their autumn gear. In the classroom, the children continued to work on their lantern projects. They decorated their watercolor paintings with beeswax crayons, adding beautiful intricacies. We've noticed more collaboration among students. They helped each other and worked together to construct buildings, set up the train table, care for the baby dolls, and play in the dollhouse. It's been a treat to see the children build friendships with each other. In the forest, jumping in the leaf piles and hiding behind the hanging silk have brought so much joy to our little Bluebirds. On Friday, we had a very special time celebrating Alexandra’s birthday. We were grateful to spend this wonderful day with Alexandra and her family, and thank you for the delicious birthday treats.

This week, we will continue to tell our seasonal story, Willow the Witch and add a pumpkin rhyme to our circle time. This Wednesday, we will celebrate Neev’s birthday, and we look forward to sharing a meaningful day with Neev and his family.
