One thing I love about teaching elementary is watching the children develop their sense of community. They are so accepting of one another. As we were preparing to dismiss this afternoon, I watched my students and marveled at how they have built relationships and care for one another. I have a couple of students new to our school this year, and you would be hard pressed to pick those kiddos out of a lineup. 😊 I love how genuine they are with their feelings. They serve as such a great example of how things should be. In light of such a heavy day today, it certainly was refreshing to see that there is hope.
Sincerely,

It is fun to watch the community develop! I feel the same way about our tribe of teachers!
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteIt seems by this time of the year I begin to see the community really begin to tighten and they are showing compassion for each other.

ReplyDeleteHaving community is so important. I don't think it 'just happens', even for elementary. I think it is encouraged and nurtured by the adults around them. Awesome that your kids have found a place of belonging.
