Each autumn, once everyone is settled into school, we like to host a family event. In keeping with our usual way, we like it to be low key (no stress!) but still offer something special and festive. We have done a soup day for the past few years and also like usual, we wanted to change things up a bit-keep it fresh! So we came up with ‘Taco Tuesday” and “Taco Wednesday’- something about tacos sings out “PARTY!” For days before our gatherings, we spoke to the children about the upcoming event and in the Eagles class we have been sharing ideas around table settings and feasting.
We had a rain plan but Rain decided not to join our party those days so Sunshine came instead. She was glorious and she really added a lot to our parties!
The children and educators loved hosting our families- cooking together to make the taco fillings (if you had not heard, the black beans were from our very own garden!), getting the tables set up, and opening our day with a gathering circle. Thank you all for joining us, taking time from your typical day, to be part of your child’s life at TNNS!
A special thanks to Scott, our Area Coordinator and Chloe & Grayson (Kate’s children) for helping out!
- please forgive me if I missed a photo of you and your child!
Warmly,
Emily
