There was also a notice that went home today about the Christmas Market at the school this Saturday. It will include fun for the whole family and opportunities to get a lot of shopping done. Best part is that it supports the school! It runs from 10-3.
To celebrate the month of December and a time that many people are thinking about giving- we started talking today about random acts of kindness. We brainstormed things that we could do here in the classroom and around the school to help our school community- the students came up with ideas such as smiling at others, giving kind compliments, helping someone that is having a tough time with something, holding the door for others, etc. This conversation and learning will continue throughout the month and we will broaden our scope of who we could be kind to and think of other ways to make a positive difference in the lives of others. They were asked to continue to think about things that they could do and also start to focus on how others are being kind to them. We will have a tracking system set up in the classroom so that students can recognize and celebrate their positive effect. Many students are regularly so helpful and friendly that they don't realize how much they do to make others feel good :)
