AUGUST 2010

PLAYROOM

Glancing at the walls in the playroom, you will see photographs of the children engaged in all kinds of activities.  One of the purposes of this kind of documentation is to show the children that their work is valued.  It also lets parents see the many areas of learning the children are exploring each day.  The pictures also help staff plan activities that further the interest of the children and plan for future experiences.  These photos will be made into books for all to see.

Words Are Windows (or they’re Walls)

 I feel so sentenced by your words,

I feel so judged and sent away,

Before I go, I’ve got to know,

Is that what you mean to say?

 

 Before I rise to my defense,

Before I speak in hurt or fear,

Before I build that wall of words,

Tell me, did I really hear?

 

 Words are windows, or they’re walls,

They sentence us, or set us free.

When I speak and when I hear,

Let love light shine through me.

 

There are things I need to say,

Things that mean so much to me,

If my words don’t make me clear,

Will you help me to be free?

 

If I seemed to put you down,

If you felt I didn’t care,

Try to listen through my words,

To the feelings that we share.
