Getting to know eachother

Ash class is off to a great start! We are getting to know eachother  and learning the routines of the classroom. You may still see some tears, but do not worry, slowly they will be gone. We must be patient and let every child have their own experiences. Thank you for all of your support in helping the transitions happen as smoothly as possible. Everyday, we are conducting interviews of eachother to learn more about each student. The children ask questions to the interviewee and we write down their answers. When we are done, the child being interviewed draws a picture and we hang it up in the classroom.

The Rose Ceremony was a lovely way to end the week! The weather was perfect and the children sang so beautifully. Here are the words to the song we sang together:

Love's Great Circle
We are dancing love's great circle
We are dancing love's great circle
We are dancing love's great circle
Family one and all

We will live in peace together (3X)
Family one and all

We will speak in truth and listen (3X)
Family one and all

We will heal our hurt and sadness (3X)
Family one and all

We will live in celebration (3X)
Family one and all

Ash class always ends our day with a poem:

All my doing now has ended
What I've learned I'll put to rest.
Always knowing, always seeing,
That I've done my very best.

You can practise singing our tidy up song with your children at home (especially when you want them to tidy up! :)

Tick tock goes the clock
What does it have to say
Time to pick up the toys
And put them all away!
