On our first day back from the holiday break we had a great discussion about learning - we talked about our goals for the year and what we hope to learn more about, the many different types of learning we explore in kindergarten (not just learning about reading and math but how to be a great friend, positive community member, how to deal with stress, how to create a dance to show an idea etc) and how we can learn from books, teachers, parents, the classroom and each other! About 2 hours after this discussion, J decided to teach us a dance - this spontaneously happened as we transitioned from recess to lunch! It was a beautiful moment and I feel so blessed to spend my days with a creative and caring bunch of 5 year olds. Thanks IAA for creating such a postive culture that promotes risk taking in a safe and supportive way.
