reminiscing the year gone by...

As we sat for circle this morning, we discovered that today was our last full day of school as the Shamayim class.  We will meet again on Wednesday but we will also have the big Shalom party so it will be a little different than usual.  

We started by counting from September to June on our fingers...that's 10 months!  Ten months is a VERY long time!!  We've done so many things as a class and have had a lot of fun learning and growing together.  Here are some memories from our year together:

Grayden:  I liked playing in the sand table.
Josh:  I liked playing on the slide.
Isabella:  I loved the swings and when daddy dropped me off.
Bennett:   I liked hiding behind the tree on the playground.
Rose:  I loved when dada comes to pick me up at the end of the day.  
Sonia:  I loved doing beads at school.
Lily:  I loved the big girl swing.
Sydney:  I liked knowing what snack we would have.
Ilan:  I liked playing with friends and toys inside and out.
Victoria:  I made new friends and loved to climb on the structure.
Ava:  I liked Dancing Nancy.

Max and Gabriel were not at school during circle.  Their friends brainstormed what they thought Max and Gabriel's favorite things at school would be:

Max:  Digging on the playground and listening to stories
Gabriel:  playing with the trains and singing.

Judi:  I loved seeing the smiling faces of the Shamayim children whey they arrived at school each morning.
Rebecca:  I will miss all of the shoes in the Shamayim class.  The children have grown so much and it has been fun to see all of the new shoes enter our classroom.

We hope you have a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing you all in the fall!!!

Shalom Party Prep


The Keshet class took a walk up to Simon Hall to become more familiar with this large space, and to practice some songs for our year-end celebration. We were surprised and happy to find that Nancy was there, already busy planning the music and movement for this occasion. She was happy to preview our number and had some great suggestions for us. Thank you, Nancy, for giving us some extra 'Dancing Nancy' time and for sharing your enthusiasm and joy with us all year!

Reflecting on a Busy Year



As crazy as it sounds, our year is quickly coming to a close. The Haifa children spent part of the morning reviewing and reminiscing about the year with Sauci. They spent time talking about things we have studied, songs we have sung, art projects we have crafted, and their favorite places to play. Spending time with each child to have an individual reflection is really great because you get to hear the child's own words, as opposed to a friend's, and you get to see what has stuck with them!
These "interviews" will come back before the end of the year!
