Brimhall Families,
Well, it is the middle of January and it feels like winter is finally, truly here with some snow and frigid temperatures. A reminder that we do go outside for recess everyday. It is important for students to get fresh (albeit cold) air and movement throughout the day. We do stay inside when it reaches -10 degrees with the windchill. At that time, we move recess indoors to play games, watch a video, draw, or socialize with friends. Please be sure that your child has winter gear including boots, snow pants, hat, and mittens/gloves. Just let us know if you need support in obtaining winter gear for your child. We are happy to help!
Brimhall Kindness 101 continued on Wednesday. We watched a video about how an elementary school worked to create a better connection with a student who has a severe hearing impairment. The whole school began learning sign language as a way to be connected, inclusive, and ensure that each person belongs. Please take a look at the video linked here to continue the dialogue at home with our circle prompts:
Think about a connection you have with another person. Why is that connection important to you?
How do you make connections with other students?
We followed up on this theme of inclusion and connection by learning a few signs of our own. During today’s morning announcements (linked here) I taught our students the signs for ‘hello’ and ‘good morning.’ I was out of the building at some appointments this morning, but when I came back, so many students signed ‘Hello, good morning’ to me. I even saw a couple of our students who know more sign language teaching peers additional signs. Such great moments of connection for our learners!
Thank you and stay safe and warm this blustery weekend!
