Returning from our ‘working vacation’, where we were able to get things done for our next school year. I am so happy to be with your child as we enter our eleventh year. Why am I so happy? Because my view is of gratitude for having this job as joy filled when I open the front door and find several children rushing to greet me. August is our January and a chance to teach, in a new unit of time, all these smiling faces.
Cathy sets the tone and of course, with her selected curriculum, how much learning we can cram into this lone month without holiday distractions. My job, in addition to my time with your child, involves improving the environment to reduce places to fall outside and restocking the CD shelf inside with new versions of the ‘wheels on the bus go round and round’.. Yes we keep finding these old chestnuts in garage sales and ‘Just between Friends’ events..
Summer brings less fog, more heat and with 3 yards, more shade and variety of experiences such as wobble cushions. Once it gets too hot to stay outside, rest assured, the play room has just been checked to be sure the air scrubber is working properly, which bring up small piles dust bunnies to sweep along with almost no dust to breathe indoors.
It is my job to mitigate hazards and promote joy with every step I take as part of my job,
Glad to have your son or daughter along for their experience learning at Cathy’s Village.
