One of the many benefits of our TBSCC playground is that we get a chance to play with children in other classes. When the Shamayim children are outside, we are joined by the Etzim class and the Levana class. It is so fun to see new friendships form and witness interactions between children who do not know each other very well.
Today, Olivia (Levana) and Jacob (Etzim) were baking and serving ice cream in their "shop" underneath the fire pole. Max (Shamayim) came over and Olivia asked him if he'd like peach ice cream. Max said he would and the two shared a lovely treat together. Max said he was finished after fiddling with the wood chip "dessert" and was on his way.
We hope Olivia, Max and Jacob find each other again on the playground. It was wonderful to see all of the children laughing, smiling, and exploring today.
Thank you for sharing this story. I think the chances to play with other classes on the playground are one of the things that make TBSCC strong. The children's circle of community is much bigger than just their own classroom community.
