After last week, it seems that we're finally starting to get back into the swing of things. Then we're hit a four day weekend :) Oh well, what can you do?
This week's IA: Music
Next week's IA: PE
*Please don't forget that we are hosting the All School Meeting on Wednesday. We've been practicing really hard and are ready to lead this big event. We will begin at 9:00 in the gym. Everyone is welcome!
I've heard such amazing feedback from our 16 Random Acts of Kindess project! Thank you again for participating in this. Here are some more pictures of our kids in kindness action. These students made and delivered cookies to the Buddy Center and the ER at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, donated toys, and helped parents find Christmas presents for their kids, who may not have otherwise been able to provide toys on Christmas morning.
I am going to try to get each child's picture up on their Kidblog page for them to write about their experience. Then, you can share their blogs with family and friends and let them get feedback from their posts. I will let you know as soon as I get that done.
Winter Voyage
We go on our Winter Voyage at the end of February. To help us prepare, Mr. Cody came to our class today. He spent some time playing some community building games with us. This is a great time of year to do these games. Our Crew is just like brothers and sisters, and we all know that sometimes, even though we love our siblings, we can begin to irritate each other. So, today was a great reminder to work together and be respectful. Mr. Cody reminded us that we cannot succeed without each other's help and dedication.
There is more to these activities than just having fun (which we had plenty of!) After each activity, Mr. Cody debriefed the play and the learning. He is awesome at making connections from these fun games to the classroom and our voyage. He reminded us that when things get too chaotic, it can be hard for the group to concentrate. We also saw just how important it is to pay attention to directions and show integrity.
