All the parents convened for Back to School night in Early October.
We began with a potluck of sweets and warm Fall evening conversation in the courtyard.
After hugs for new friends and old, we moved to our children's respective classrooms.
We began with exploring the classroom through our children's eyes. We built block towers, painted, experimented with play-dough.
We got a peek into our children's day through walls and walls of photos of our children in action.
Then we gathered in a circle to dialogue with the teachers.
We learned what the teachers' envisioned for our children this year - to delight in learning, to connect with peers, to build confidence in their passions and abilities.
At the end of the night, we went home with hearts full of appreciation for the gifts of love, care, and wisdom that the Gan Avraham team provide our children each day.
Curious if Gan Avraham is the right place for your child? Email Barbara Kanter at barbara[at]tbaoakland[dot]org.
Warmly,

Mother of two Gan students (ages 2 and 4)
