5-Day: Remembering A Wonderful Year
The end of the year is always bittersweet--- sadness at saying goodbye to friends, excitement at going on to something new and nervousness at the changes and uncertainty ahead. We talked about these changes in meetings as a group, exploring the children's next academic environment as a place with many of the same things as in 5-Day (thank you Noah Awad for helping us learn this). Also, as we read each book individually, which the children created all by themselves, they saw how much they have grown and that they are ready to move on.
Below are some of their favorite remembrances from 5-Day:
James--the igloo and painting
Evan--blocks
David--playing with my friends
Eliza--when we made snowglobes
Theo--legos
Selah--playing in dramatic play
Catherine--painting
Andrew--playing with blocks
Nora--igloo, animals and snowglobes
Declan--playing with the magnet tiles
Jack--legos
Aria--snowglobes
Antonia--dramatic play
Noah--legos
Helena--the tent in the dramatic play
Grace--blocks
Iris--picking out animals for snowglobes
Dear parents, thank you for welcoming me to Bowen. It has been a great year spending each day with your children.
Yours,
Cathy and Jasmine
