With our year coming to an end, we have been inviting children to understand this transition and the many different feelings it may bring. This past week we hung transparent sleeves on our clips and provided small paper cards for the children to save memories of their experience in Studio Red. This has fostered conversations around the table. As children write and draw, they reflect on their year together. We teachers continue to learn what stands out to each child as they think of memories in both the recent and more distant past. Though it is difficult to know what memories will stay with us, the simple act of pausing to take note, fosters gratitude. With gratitude comes a sense of peace.
