Hello SK Families!
Although this week was short, it was filled with all the thanks and gratitude our hearts could hold. On Monday, we read The Grumbles, a story about a family caught in grumpy feelings until they begin noticing the small, ordinary things that make life beautiful. We discussed how things that sometimes feel like chores can actually be our greatest blessings, if we just pause long enough to notice them.
With those ideas guiding us, the children added the final touches to their Gratitude Jars. Our hope is that these jars continue to grow at home as the children collect moments, people, and experiences they are grateful for throughout the year. Inside each jar rests a Thankful Spoon, designed by your child. This spoon is meant to be shared, passed around during meals or quiet family moments, to invite everyone to offer “a spoonful of thanks,” a simple and meaningful way to slow down and speak gratitude aloud. A jar full of gratitude and a spoonful of thanks… we think that’s the perfect recipe for a joyful holiday season!
On Tuesday, we gathered as a whole school for our Thanksgiving luncheon. Sitting amongst the children, listening to their giggles and their conversations, reminded us once again how thankful we are to do this extraordinary work with your incredible children. A very special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Cooper and Miss Carly for providing such a beautiful meal, and to our parent volunteers who helped make the day feel effortless. It truly takes a village, and we are certain we have the very best one.
Before we each settle at our own Thanksgiving tables, before we scoop that heaping pile of potatoes, before we carve the turkey, and before the traditional holiday nap, we want to pause and say thank you. Thank you for sharing your children with us. Thank you for the awe-filled moments, the belly laughs, the questions, the stories, and the countless hugs they offer so freely. Thank you for trusting us with these gifts of gratitude each and every day.
We hope you know just how thankful we are!
Miss Arden and Miss Hanna
