Puddle Jumping!

"If possible, nothing without joy!" - Loris Malaguzzi 

One of the most joyful things you can do is pull on your rain boots, raincoat, maybe grab an umbrella, and go jump in the puddles! It's such a simple pleasure in life, but it never fails to bring a smile to your face! So, that's exactly what we did! 

The large puddle on Potomac proved to be too small for all of us, so we took a walk around the block.  In the alley (between Potomac and 33rd) was a goldmine of puddles! 

Dumping out the water!

The whole crew!

New Mask Policies

A throwback in honor of the final in-person day of Brown Room (almost two years ago to the day) as we prepare for our upcoming policy changes!
**excuse my nostalgic nature**

Today we talked to the children about our upcoming change in the masking policy (and it seems many of you had already shared the news, so thank you!).  We started by briefly discussing why we stayed home two years ago and why we have been wearing masks.  They had so many wonderful insights, and it is incredible to hear how kind and empathetic our Tucker 16 are; though we are not surprised at all! 

Starting Monday, masks will be optional.  Most of us shared the choice that we have made, or our families have made together. We, as a whole Tucker Room, have agreed to respect the choices of each child and family! We're so grateful for their kind hearts and willingness to be open to the choices of others! Thank you for everything you've done, and continue to do, to keep everyone safe over these past two years!
