I wanted to send a quick note home regarding two items you will find in your child's Take Home Folder.
1) Kindness Hearts
Last week, we read a very special book called, Kindness is Cooler Mrs. Ruler. This book was all about doing nice things for others in our home, school, and community. We were so excited about this book that they decided they wanted to spread kindness just like the characters did. We want to write down our own acts of kindness on a paper hearts. We will hang these hearts in our project room and see if we can cover an entire bulletin board. You will see three paper hearts coming home tonight. Please return these hearts to school NO LATER THAN THIS Thursday morning.
Please take a moment to sit with your child and talk about something kind they could do or have done today. Please write down their act of kindness and have them trace over your writing. OR, you could also write down the act of kindness on a piece of paper and have them copy it onto the heart themselves. If you have more then three acts of kindness please feel free to make your own paper hearts and bring them in (by Thursday). Let's fill up that bulletin board! Take a look at the sample hearts below.
2) Brain Breakfast Items
Today, your child cleared out the "Finished" side of their Brain Breakfast Folder. They put the finished work in their Take Home Folders to show you. Take some time with your child to look over their hard work and share in their successes. I am so proud of them for all the work they have done. Brain Breakfast time is an amazing part of our school day. It is so fun to start the day with quiet workers. They have become so independent grabbing their own Brain Breakfast Folders and self-selecting the work they are interested in completing for that morning. It has been the best way to build independence and responsibility in each child. Way to go, Cottontails! This Brain Breakfast work can stay at home. It doesn't not need to come back to school. Enjoy their hard work!
