Dear Families,
This week in our classroom we will joyfully celebrate Purim in a way that is meaningful and developmentally appropriate for our young toddlers. We will come in costume tomorrow, and watch the older children show off theirs for our Chai Tots Purim Parade. Come join the purim carnival fun anytime from 2:30 - 4:30 . What an exciting holiday!
We are especially grateful to Morah Sarah, who helped us decorate our Shalach Manot bags. The children worked carefully to adorn their bags, practicing fine motor skills while participating in the beautiful mitzvah of giving treats to friends. Thank you, Morah Sarah, for bringing such warmth and joy into our classroom!
Young children are very sensitive to rhythm and routine, so things might get a little rough with the time change. You may notice: slightly earlier wake-ups, afternoon fatigue, and increased emotional sensitivity.
To help ease the transition, you might:
Shift bedtime 10–15 minutes earlier for a few nights
Spend extra time outdoors in natural light
Keep evening routines calm and predictable
We will offer extra grace in the classroom as little bodies adjust to the new rhythm.
Thank you for sharing your little ones with us each day. Wishing your family a joyful Purim and an easy time change!
Warmly,
Morahs Rachael, Kristy, Mary, and Sarah
