Kindness Rocks! During this season of giving, students in Room 109 (Ms. Brittany and Ms. Jess) have been focusing on the act of kindness. Children designed their own "kindness rock" with paints and rock tattoos. Some rocks were planted around local neighborhoods during the Thanksgiving break, and some rocks will be given as gifts from students to their loved ones to spread holiday cheer and kindness!

Creating a map of the continents was a fascinating and exciting experience for Children's House 3 Kindergarteners. First, we all learned a song about the continents and oceans and explored the map of the continents from the Geography Cabinet. Then the students traced and push-pinned the shapes of two hemispheres and seven continents. The next step was to assemble the map and to glue all the shapes correctly.
The maps are on the display on the classroom bulletin board - please come and see this project!

Hello G&P, Haggerty, Tobin, and VLUS Families,
Please join a monthly affinity group for VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism.
The affinity group will read and discuss various texts throughout the year in order to address our own unconscious biases and to take an active role in fighting white supremacy in our schools, communities, and ourselves.
There will be reading to complete before each session, and families are strongly encouraged to make a commitment to attend as many sessions as possible.
