Peaceful Play Group

Creating Resource for Edu-Learners

Dear Families,
This blog is edited to share what "school" was like for one sweet group in Brooklyn experiencing their first ongoing social endeavor. This is a kind of journaling-example of what school groups can be like for a larger public including for parents who are curious about creating groups, for teachers who lead groups, etc. It works backwards through the year, with spring posts first, and fall's at the end

If you have found this blog, you are welcome to browse it and follow it's links. It offers so many sweet reads, if you move back through the posts. I would love to hear from you about your experience if you do browse. If it interests you to build a group experience like this in your home, neighborhood, community, and you wish to consult on this, I am available.

Also link in the columns to other blogs I offer, that hold current and ongoing programming that I direct and teach, including Ethical Explorers, Children Loving Yoga, etc.

Thanks,
Audrey

and kind words.

From loving teachers,

Warm Weather News

Dear Families--
What a fun season we are in! Summer time!
A few practical suggestions, our calendar and a special invitation:

SUGGESTIONS:
1. please bring a water bottle labeled with your child's name, if you are willing. We will make a water table next to the fridge, upon which you can place it upon arrival. The children are more thirsty throughout the morning now in the warm weather.

2. please put a layer of sun block on your children's skin before school, especially if they are sensitive to the sun.

3. please check to make sure there is still an extra set of clothes for you child at school. And perhaps bring a small towel to add to it, and a sun hat, if you are willing. I look forward to the possibility of some outdoor water play.

SPECIAL INVITATION:
SHOW and SHARE DAY! This is a chance for every child to bring in a toy from home that they are willing and eager to show AND share with the group. In general, let's NOT bring toys from home into school. If you use a toy as transitional assistance to get to school, we'll make a special box in the entry hallway for them. Ok?

Much joy,
Audrey
