Each afternoon during our closing circle, children take the time to reflect on the day. Over this last week, we have been complimenting and honoring those friends who have helped us out, and were overly kind to us. Whether it's thanking a friend who accidently bumped into them and then waited to see if they were okay, honoring a friend for helping them on a tricky word, or the lunch lady who allowed them to exchange their milk, students are being thoughtful in their reflections. Here is an example to the right of a friend who was acknowledged for helping them to write a number and count during a math lesson today. Students go 'above and beyond' to show empathy to their peers without being asked! Congrats to all of your children!Class Picture
