Kindergarten News September 26 - 29

This week in kindergarten we discussed why we wear orange shirts.  The students were inquisitive and wondered why some children were treated differently and taken from their homes.  Our Educational Assistant shared that she was raised in a different home as well.  Thank you for supporting our learning and sending your child in an orange shirt this week.  We were able to practice a sharing circle outdoors this week.  The Sharing Circle story was one of our literature stories that discussed how to solve a problem when friends have disagreements.  I can share my feelings in a sharing circle too.

I can colour an orange shirt and share why I matter and why others matter.
