Thursday - September 5, 2019

We had another exciting day getting to know one another and back into our school routine. We sorted our classroom library, worked with mystery numbers, wrote about our expectations for this year and signed our classroom contract.

Our theme for this year is Kindness and Respect.


Respect for yourself
Respect for each other
Respect for your teachers

Respect for our school

We have been discussing about the importance of treating others the way we would like to be treated and that we encourage each other to be the best version of ourselves.

Check out our class contract! 


Can you find your child's signature?

Mindfulness
We discussed about the importance of being aware of our own emotions and how they affect different regions of the brain, and how to calm down by taking deep breaths. In our classroom we have a Peace Corner that students can take sometime to find their focus and get ready for learning. Talk with your child how they can deal with stress and challenging situations.
