After reflecting on the conferences and after receiving feedback from the students on what could be better in kindergarten, I shared with your children that I plan to work on ReSPONSIBILITY. Specifically, I was going to work on doing my job of getting the children up and moving - "getting our wiggles out" so they can be ready for learning. We often do movement breaks during morning meeting, but I will be honest - I haven't been implementing them at other points in the day. Today, as I shared with the kids - I was going to work on this. And, I did. We did a number of breaks throughout the day and students enjoyed playing a part in helping to make decisions about making this change happen. Class Picture
