A Year of Memories

Hello Green Room families!  It's been an exciting week for us.  Our caterpillars have built their cocoons!  I love listening to the verbal observations our friends made about the process.

As you know, every morning, we daven (pray) with the kids.  Morah Gitty does a great job of having it be an engaging and meaningful experience for the kids.  Just a couple weeks ago, she added something new, where the boys could choose to wear tzitzis (traditional tassels) and yarmulkes (head covering) to do a special prayer.  The girls also have a special prayer to do that talks about the special mitzvahs Hashem has for us, lighting Shabbat candles and making Challah. The Green Room friends have enjoyed this addition to our morning davening!

For those of you who are not new this year, you know to expect an end of year portfolio, highlighting the amazing accomplishments your child has made over the last year.  This week I have been working on pulling this all together, and in doing so, I am reminded of the amazing year we have had.

Do you remember this absolutely adorable photo shoot we did for Rosh Hashanah?

You've also probably noticed that there's a very important person missing from the photos above: Luke!  He's so much a part of our Green Room Family that it's hard to picture a time without him.

I want to take an extra moment to say THANK YOU for the gifts you brought us for teacher appreciation week.  I love doing what I do, and it sincerely means a lot to know that you appreciate me.  I know Morah Gitty feels the same way!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, a restful Shabbat, and a Happy Mothers Day!
