Happy Holidays! It has been such a joy to share stone soup with everyone. I love this tradition. The kids take such pride in their work and see how their small contribution becomes something that can be shared with so many. We read stone soup stories from different cultures and discussed how a small kindness can grow.
The Bear class had a guest student, a refugee, share in our school for a couple of weeks. I am so proud of our community for saying yes to this experience, for your children’s kindness to someone new and for their concern today when asking where she has gone. It has led to beautiful conversations in class that I hope you can continue at home.
As we close the year I want to say how thankful I am to be part of this community. I have the joy of working with your children, they bring a smile to my face everyday. Through the chaos that is preschool I get to see the moments of wonder, kindness, and friendship that emerge between children and families. Thank you for making this community the wonderful place that it is.
Wishing you all a peaceful winter holiday.
Kindly,
Teacher Allisen
