The first meeting of the 4th grade Environmental club was held this week. We learned about the Great Monarch Butterfly Migration from North America to Mexico. We are sending an Ambassador Butterfly and Symbolic Butterflies that we created during our meeting to share with students in Mexico who are also learning about the Great Migration. This Symbolic Migration Program helps to build communication between students in the United States/Canada and students in Mexico. United by the Monarch butterfly, children across North America learn lessons of conservation, cooperation and ambassadorship. In the Spring, when the Monarchs leave Mexico and return to North America we will receive paper butterflies from students in Mexico.

What do you do when someone hurts your feelings? Students are taught how to use “I Messages”. It is a simple formula to say “I feel ______, When you ______, so next time please _______.” It is helpful to practice this phrase with smaller or positive feelings for this strategy to be easier to use when bigger hurt feelings arise. It may also be a fun activity for families to share at dinnertime to express their feelings about the day. For more tips about expressing feelings, contact Lori Shaw, School Counselor at 610-489-5000 X41207 or LShaw@methacton.org
