Learning With the Children

I keep finding something new to learn from the children.  Many can entertain themselves endlessly while being alone and find enjoyment from the most basic of things.  They can create games with only cups, or sticks, or markers.  They can find joy and entertainment in anything and everything.

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and caught up on rest and family time over the break.  It is apparent that the kids needed a break, because they have returned refreshed, refocused, and excited to be at school.  And we are excited to have each and every one of them back, as they make Sourdough such a special place.
