A Sad Day in the Pine Palace
Our classroom was a little quieter this week as we learned the sad news that Dolly Parton had passed away. The children were genuinely heartbroken. Many of them knew Dolly through her music, movies, Dollywood, or the books she helped put into the hands of children through her Imagination Library.
We talked about how special it is when one person can bring joy, kindness, music, and books to so many people. Dolly certainly left the world a little brighter than she found it.
There were plenty of sad faces in Room 102 as we said goodbye to a true legend. But we reminded ourselves that the best way to remember someone we love is to keep sharing the joy and kindness they taught us.
