Tuesday and Wednesday we observed, along with Szonja, classrooms and then met with educators focusing on next steps for each individual team. Our closing faculty meetings, with two different groups, were passionate and exciting. Discussions were lively and intense as we reviewed the learning of the week of the Reggio Approach and connecting our Jewish values to the everyday lives of children, parents and community. We leave feeling our time together was productive and are so excited and encouraged by the enthusiastic and open attitude of Szonja and her educators. We also leave with newfound friends who share meaningful Jewish connections. We say l’hitraot to Budapest – until we meet again.
