Kindness Week and Georgia O'Keeffe inspired Art

This week we worked with Mr. Wall on exploring the meaning of kindness and self-regulation. We watched videos and read stories on Kindness. We also explored what random acts of kindness (RAKS) looks like gave each other kindness cards. Many children shared that true kindness means that you're nice and helpful withour expecting any reward in return. I'll be displaying our learnings on the bulletin board and will post a picture soon.

During the week, we were also invited to a Puppet Show on Epilepsy and Dealing with Bullies. It was a great experience and children asked many insightful questions to gain more knowlege. We also learned the term WITS (Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out/Tell an adult, Stop and Stand up). It's reminds us what to do when we are dealing with bullies.

This week we also looked at some paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe. We looked closely at the beautiful flowers that she painted. We practised drawing different kinds flowers on canvases for Home and School Project. The students were enjoyed painting so much that I brought in new canvases to paint a special present for our wonderful moms.

In math, we learned about mass, capacity, and transformations. Next week, we'll work on probability.
