Hello Friends,
The February issue is complete and will be shipping soon! This month’s edition is truly something special, and I’m excited for your children to dive in.
We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day and friendship, of course, but we’re also opening the doors to the Music Corner at Thistleburrow Elementary. Your little ones will meet Maestro J, a colorful caterpillar and our charming new music teacher who’s filling the halls with melodies and warmth. Through stories and activities, children will discover the joy of music and rhythm in ways that spark curiosity and creativity.
This issue also takes young readers on a journey across the ocean to Austria, where they’ll explore the breathtaking Admont Abbey Library. Imagine a library as long as a football field, with ceiling paintings of angels and clouds, golden decorations gleaming in the sunlight, and shelves holding books that are hundreds of years old. It’s the kind of place that reminds us why books matter and why the spaces we keep them in can be magical. Your children will be amazed that such a place exists!
February is shaping up to be an issue full of wonder, learning, and heart. Don’t miss it—subscribe today or reach out with any questions at hello@thistleburrowtimes.com.
