Easter Art this morning with some of the children in our Infant Room 🐣 🐰

I must say that we have the cutest and smartest little shamrocks around! Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Brookhaven Staff and Children☘️

PARENT REMINDER:

Last week we started allowing parents to come into the school to drop off and pick up their children as long as you are wearing a mask and have your temp checked. You can ONLY go to the classroom door. We ARE NOT allowing anyone in the classroom other than the infant room. We are still being cautious to protect the children.

Thank you for your cooperation with our decision!

Parents:

As you know the number of Covid 19 cases has dropped over the last couple months. We have decided to start allowing you to come in the school to drop off and pick up your children by their classroom doors. However, we are not allowing parents to go into the classroom.

1) STOP-Must stop at the front hall door for temperature check in order to proceed to classroom door
2) Parents/Visitors entering the school must wear a mask.

If Covid cases start to arise again, we will re-evaluate our decision. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during these difficult times. We know it has not been easy for anyone.

Thank you!

Happy International Dot Day!

" On September 15, 2003, author and illustrator of children’s books, Peter H. Reynolds released his book “The Dot.” In the story, Vashti felt like she couldn’t draw — but her art teacher wouldn’t accept that. “Just make a mark, and see where it takes you,” the teacher said to Vashti. So, she marked her parchment paper with a small dot. The next day, Vashti was surprised to find her paper with the dot on the classroom wall. Vashti was so proud of her work that she started creating drawings with different kinds of dots.

Eventually, Vashti was able to pass the lesson about confidence that she had learned from her teacher onto someone else. A dot might be small, but it’s a powerful way to show your unique individuality and creativity. And that’s the story that inspired International Dot Day.

“The Dot” has inspired millions of children and adults. It is used by teachers as a method to encourage creativity and instill confidence in students. One teacher in Iowa, Terry Shay, introduced the book to his entire classroom on September 15, 2009. This led to the observance of International Dot Day every year on September 15. The flow of creativity and courage is celebrated by millions of teachers and students around the world. Such is the widespread influence of “The Dot” that it is currently celebrated in 192 countries by more than 19 million people! "
