Dear Oak,
I don’t like goodbyes. I do like hellos. Sometimes someone doesn’t want to stay at Rainbow School. They don’t want to say goodbye. Today, that happened, and one of you came over to check in with them. All of you care for each other. It helped. Soon the person who didn’t want to say goodbye was off building a trap.
The trap was complicated. At first, there were two people working on it. Later, I lost count of how many were working on it. I wonder if you worked on it. I know that some of you were worried that others of you would mess it up. Everyone wanted to help. Sometimes different people have different ideas like how to tie, how long the rope should be, where to tie…
At first, they were only building a trap between the swing set and barn and across one side of the barn. Soon the trap was woven throughout all of Rainbow School.
They started with white rope, then added blue, then added gold, then added pink, a trap of many colors and ideas.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
