Gratitude

Spring by S.E.

Good morning Division 4,

I wanted to start this morning with some gratitude. I am grateful for our amazing class community full of creative, thoughtful, and kind children and families.  I am so grateful to be connected to all of you as your classroom teacher. I am grateful for the photos and messages you have sent me. I am grateful for the conversations I have had with you this week, and the conversations we will continue to have. I am thankful for our opportunities to be safe and stay connected during this time. I am grateful for the memories of earlier this year in the classroom, and excited for all the new memories we are going to create next. I am thankful for having an opportunity to learn new things, and a family who encourages me when things are challenging. These are some of the things I am grateful for on this Wednesday morning. 

For today, I would love for you to take some time to create a gratitude journal entry – what are you grateful for? Who are you grateful for? While you are writing or drawing, I want you to notice how you feel. Perhaps you could even start each day this week with a gratitude entry.

Please remember that everything I post on the blog is an invitation to explore. Please take your time and do only what is a good fit for you and your family.

I hope you have a wonderful day,

Ms. Carley

Ideas 

Here are a few ideas to add to the others:

  • Art & Writing
    • Join Mo Willems for Lunchtime doodles! In the episode #2 video, Mo talks about Piggie and Gerald (our favourite!!). At 12:55, he teaches us how to draw Gerald. Can you come up with an idea for a new Piggie and Gerald story? Can you come up with your own cartoon?
    • At 24:10  Mo shows us a letter doodle game! What letter doodle will you do?
  • Daily Physical Activity
    • Today’s challenge is to practice three or more yoga poses. See how it feels to take a few yoga breaks today.

One more gratitude note… I am thankful for my sidekicks, Gaia and Nemo.
