Hi parents,
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!
Our afternoon of 'camping' was a blast. The students had so much fun. I was also amazed by how well they focused during our 25 minute long 'sit spot' time in the morning.
While many classes chose to bring out sketching journals, we decided to just sit. And it turned out to be one of the best lessons of the year! After overcoming the initial boredom, students started looking more closely at their surroundings, finding interesting bugs, leaves, rocks, all sorts of things, and all while being calm, quiet, and peaceful. It's amazing how being outside can have that calming effect. I shudder to think what would happen if I tried that same activity in the classroom....
Our assembly is this Thursday, Sports Day is on Friday, and our Talent Show is on Monday - lots to look forward to!
Have a nice night,
Zac
