Dear Mulberry,
Each of us is different. We move through the world and the yard as ourselves. We each go our own way. Some of us are taller. Some of us are shorter. Some of us are older. Some of us are younger.
Some of us can stand on one foot. Some of us are like butterflies flitting and floating and landing here and there. I wonder what a butterfly notices. Some of us cannot stand on one foot today but will next month. Some of us may never have an interest in trying.
Some of us see something another is doing and reach for it to do it too, especially if we are younger and they are older. Someone new to Rainbow School may be used to food on a table being available to eat and reach for yours.
We are all teachers. We are all learners. You may someday be able to let them know that you are using this one and there is another one like it over here or that this is your snack and point out which one is theirs. And if you forget or the feeling of WORRY or ANGRY or both take over, you can always have do overs.
That is another way, like teaching and learning, we are all alike. We all need do overs sometimes.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
