Director's Column: Three Classrooms in One Week - My Favorite Moments
What a week! I am hopeful that we will have all our teachers back soon, but, I will admit, I did enjoy getting to spend time in all three classrooms this week. Here were my favorite moments:
In 3-Day...
Building block robots, trucks, and homes for animals with Jax, Natasha, and Will
Watching Vivvy and Charlie lead the class in singing "Bonjour" with Steve
Helping Olly count 22 days on the calendar
Giving Nate, Lilly, and Riya SUPER pushes on the swings
Getting handprint high fives from Madeline and Ruby
Spinning Atharv on the tire swing
Finding koosh animals among the koosh balls in the water table with Lorelai and Emma
Making waffle patterns with Simon in red play dough
Helping Malia sing her baby back to sleep
In 5-Day...
Stamping out our names with Eli and George
Coloring friendship chain links with Isla and Nicholas
Finishing the Children of the World puzzle with Mae
Making cinnamon snow in the sandbox with Sloane and Cecilia
Building intricate marble runs with Ariyan and Reid
Doing a super speed clean up in the block area with Liam and Lucas
Watching Rocco make himself an ottoman to put his feet up in the chill out chair
Helping Charlotte write her name on the thank you card to IHOP
Celebrating Scarlet's birthday... our first 5-Day 5-year-old!
In Pre-K...
Reading Fish is Fish with Emersyn, Hazel, and Hope
Hearing Madeline, Rowen, and Nate describe their Jacob Lawrence paintings
Getting a hug and a squeeze from Marie Sophie
Seeing Lucas offer Story help in opening her yogurt
Having a delicious snack of Popcorners and bananas with Ashwin
Wondering how close you could get to the sun with Connor, Martin, and Zafi
Seeing James make a connection between Journey and Harold and the Purple Crayon
I missed spending time with Stella and Blake, who were in Florida this week... I guess I’ll just have to head back into the classrooms again next week!
Best, Nina
