Why I Love My Job!

Yesterday the four day class visited with our Grandfriends at Stonebridge Assisted Living. I was thrilled when one child immediately chatted with a “friend” about the new doll she got for Christmas! Another child brought pictures of her new dogs to share!

The children acted out the story of the “The Mitten.” Then all of the generations listened to the story, “The Mitten Tree.” After the story, we all traced our hands, making and decorating foam “mittens.” We left one mitten there, and took one mitten with us. We’ll have mitten trees at both school and Stonebridge!
A golden moment: While everyone was decorating their mitten, one little girl quietly started singing, “Doe, a deer, a female deer,” another voice joined…”Ray, a drop of golden sun….” more joined until everyone in the room, all generations were singing togther.

After a previous visit, one little boy bounced up and down saying, “Thank you for taking us to see our Grandfriends, Mrs Winden! I wuv it there!”
