Weekly Highlights
Much of our "work" in the Kindergarten year has to do with how we relate to ourselves and one another. We are hard at work creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and where we work well together and can manage our emotions in order to be successful. One of the ways we've been cultivating a positive school climate is by writing our own "Kindergarten Charter." This charter will help all of us who are a part of our class work together in creating the best learning environment. We recently gathered to ask ourselves these three questions:
-How do we want to feel in our classroom?
-What will we do in order to have these feelings regularly?
-How will we uphold our commitment to the charter?
Creating a positive, compassionate climate is a shared school responsibility just as creating a compassionate society is a shared civic responsibility.
If you are curious, please stop by to see our charter which is posted in our classroom. If you are curious but cannot stop by you can look at the picture of our charter above.
