Today we read two special books: Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes and What Does It Mean To Be Kind? by Rana DiOrio
As a class we talked about what it means sometimes when we are worried about different things and different fears we can have. Wemberly is a little girl mouse who is always worried about something, and her fears get greater as she gets closer to going to school. We talked about how it is okay to be worried about things, and just like Wemberly, a friend can be a great resource for us when we are worried.
In What Does It Mean To Be Kind? it talks about different ways that people can be kind to each other- such as forgiving someone who has hurt you or giving a compliment or celebrating all differences. Keeping with our school wide SOAR motto, we talked about what it means to be kind in our classroom and to our friends. Our last SOAR whole school assembly focused on acts of kindness.
Tonight, the students have homework. Keeping with acts of kindness, I asked them to do something kind. If you could talk to your student about different ways to be kind at home that would be helpful. Tomorrow we will write about different ways that we were helpful at home. I can't wait to see what different acts of kindness they did tonight!
