Hello, Bridge families! It has been lovely to observe how the children have been interacting with our materials and each other. There is a certainly a lot of enthusiasm and joy in our group this year. One of the fantastic things about having you, the caregiver, in the classroom is that you are able to model behaviors for your child. By quietly observing or engaging in work with your child, you are showing them that their work is important and that the materials and classroom need to be respected. Please help them properly put away all of their materials before they move on to the next activity. I know that this can be tricky as it is very common for children this age to move quickly from one activity to another. However, by helping keep everything in order we are showing them how to "complete" a work while also modeling that it is important to leave the work beautiful and ready for the next friend.
Thank you for all you do, and I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Hello families! Thank you all for such a wonderful first day in our Bridge Class. I am so pleased with how the children engaged with the materials in the classroom and with each other. It was a particularly beautiful day in our garden, and the children really took to the sand table and digging in the rocks. I'm looking forward to our next class and continuing to build this sweet community together. ​
