This Week in the Tulip Room

These humans never fail to amaze me! They came back from holiday break a month ago, ready to work, which is normal, but it seems that the internal motivation never ends sometimes!! They want to work! They want to learn! They want to learn to deal with social & emotional issues on their own! They want so much and we are so happy they do!  With this being a new month, new work plans were on the agenda for Monday and they were hungry for them. They came in ready to tackle their new lists and it has continued all week,  new lessons and practicing asking our friends for help as well as recognizing those who do kind things, were at the top of our list this week (and maybe we snuck in some fun water lessons).  I really feel each and every day that we are blessed to be surrounded by such amazing, kind, smart and unique people.

This next week brings Valentine’s Day and in the Tulip Room we are wishing to follow our winter holiday season theme of “Giving without getting”, by making valentines for others. We have a call in to our local nursing homes and hospitals to see who we can bring valentines to. But for now, if your child wishes to purchase valentines, we would ask that they do so knowing it isn’t going to themselves or their friends and that we are taking them to the public; to those we have helped before or to those who do kind things for us. So your child may purchase or chose a valentine of their liking to bring in on the 13^th, but we will assemble and deliver these to others, with no plan of receiving anything in return. On the 14^th the guides are planning an informal party for the learners.

Wow, presidents day is just around the corner and there will plenty of president work on the shelves, but don’t forget we are out the 18^th, which brings us to more than the middle of the month and more than halfway through re-enrollment time.  Check with Brenda for more details or questions, but for right now we are excited every day to see the re-enrollment list of those returning and those progressing from the Primary Room.

Also we are offering an Elementary Encore…it’s the second act to the “Kristen and Melissa show”, that your children experience every day, this summer, so if you feel your child could benefit or would really love some extra time in the classroom sign them up soon (it’s love, laughing, learning & fun)!
