We are still working on base ten and base 1 with our grids. (They will be sent home with them.) Today we had our last visit to Ruth’s home. The friends refer to her as “our Ruth,” and indeed, she has become part of our learning community. To say farewell and thank you to her, we made her a crown with butterflies and a mobile with our words on it. The friends said the following when asked the question,
“In what ways are we thankful for Ruth?”:
“Her home is cozy and warm.”
“She’s friendly and she doesn’t bite.” (Something Ruth said the first day she received hugs from friends!)
“She likes us and she loves us, too. I like to see her in Ashfield at the Farmer’s Market.”
“She listens to us with patience.”
“She always nice to us, she loves us, and I like to see her beautiful things.”
