Colour House Activities
We will be discussing the Spirit Day activities for Friday at the Staff Meeting. At this point, if you could reserve the last block of the day for these activities that would be helpful. It will really be an opportunity to get together and meet your colour and participate in a few fun activities as a group.
Classroom Connection
I also thought the article on children who experience trauma was of particular interest. It discusses how trauma can begin to occur before birth. I thought the way that it highlighted neglect as an infant as a very serious form of trauma. Sometimes, it is easy to identify students with trauma when they have suffered violent incidents but there are many others as we know, who suffer in silence without a major event to bring attention to their suffering.
