IB profile word - REFLECTIVE

Dear Families,

Every week we will have a different story in the afternoon for our IB profile word. The children will get to explore that story through math, art, science, music, movement and language while learning about the meaning of the profile word with their lives and the lives of the character.
Last week our story was called "Tops and Bottoms" by Janet Stevens The children enjoyed being reflective; thinking about what they have learned, what they are good at and how they can improve the next time. They also learned that being reflective means to take their time to think about their actions and effects. The children realized that at the end of the story the bear was being reflective. He realized that he is good at planting and working in the garden, but he chose the easy way, sleeping the whole time while someone else was working in his garden. At the end, he reflected on the situation and realized that he has to work hard for himself if he wants to have something. 

I hope the children had a chance to tell you about all the different vegetables they tasted and all the different activities that we did related to the story.

Have a great week,
Anamaria

Health Break

Dear Parents,

In the morning we will explore the forest and right before group time the children will have a Health break. They will read books, rest in the comfortable hammock or swinging chair, eat a healthy snack and/or hydrate their body with some water.
