Appreciation

Much of our work centered around appreciation today.

This is Talking Bear.  He spends class meeting time with us each day.  Today, we talked about things we appreciated over our break.  We shared gifts we were given, fun trips, and great experiences with our families.  We passed Talking Bear around the circle and shared all of the wonderful things we appreciated.  It was truly heart warming to hear the kids express their gratitude.

 

We spent some time writing about things we appreciated.


Many kids even chose to write thank you cards during our center time.

Kids wrote cards for teachers, friends, and family.

The thing that surprised me most was that kids were so very appreciative of their experiences.  More than toys and presents, kids talked about how much their families meant to them and how they appreciated the things they did together.  From decorating the tree to baking cookies, it is evident that your kids love spending time with you.
