Happy Friday
Happy Thanksgiving~
Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful and to think about all the special people who have touched our lives. I am extremely thankful for your support and for trusting us with your most valuable treasures, your kids.
For thanksgiving, encourage our students to be open-minded and try new food. Help them maintain their balance and eat their vegetables along with their protein and dessert. Practice gratitude with your children by doing a gratitude activity such as,
- Fill out a gratitude card for other family members
- Make a list of all the things they are thankful for
- Read books on gratitude: Gratitude is My Superpower, My Attitude of Gratitude
- Did you thank someone today? Why?
- What places/people do you feel grateful for? Why?
- Tell me about one thoughtful action you showed someone.
- What is the best thing that has happened today? Tell me why.
- What made you smile today?
- Tell me about the most beautiful thing you saw today.
- How do you show your family and friends you care for them?
- I am thankful for ______ because _______.
This month we continue to celebrate the IB Learner Profile Attribute of being a Caring. Students who are CARING show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others. They have a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment. They remember to treat others how they themselves would like to be treated.
