Welcome to the Winter Session

Dear Families,

Here is a link to our welcome letter for the new session. It contains information about parking, school closures, and the dates for our session. Here is a rhythm of the morning with some details about what informs my decisions about to include in the morning's work and play. I distributed printed copies of this at our orientation.

Here are lyrics to many of the songs I sing throughout the morning. I have no expectation that families will sing these songs at home. My hope is that parents feel inspired to sing for and with their children, whether songs from school, the Beatles, or Mozart.

At the orientation, several parents showed interest in an article I was preparing for nursery families about responding to children's questions. I have posted the article outside the classroom door, and here is an electronic copy of it.

Finally, here are lyrics to the songs and rhymes I sing and say at the table time and the closing circle.

With warmth and light,

William Geoffrey Dolde
