Dear Mulberry,
One of our classmates is feeling anxious and sad about goodbyes. I do not like goodbyes. At our goodbye song, another classmate suggested we sing hello instead. I like hello.
I was sitting on the stump when one person decided to leave. I wanted them to stay. I asked them to stay. I suggested we eat cake. Someone brought cake. They left. I cried. I worried that they wouldn’t come back.
They came back. I smiled a big smile. They told me that they had just gone around the circle. I forgot all my goodbye feelings and felt all the warmth and vibration of hello. I wonder what you feel.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
