    What a wonderful letter for families!  We have recently implemented a multi-age class for our half-day 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds, and we are seeing great results.  So much of what you described is being lived out in our rooms.

    I am always looking for accessible articles and research to share with parents who are unfamiliar or even skeptical of the approach.  Do you have any other helpful resources you might be able to share?
