Information and some "homework" - over the last few weeks I have had many individual and small group discussions with students about concerns that they are having.  Some of these result from accidents ,while others seem to be more purposeful, but they all bothered the other student(s) to some extent.

To help us each to better understand each other we began health today by writing about things that bother us or make us uncomfortable.  I've summarized the main things students said in this document and we've begun talking about each item so that we can practice empathy and understanding for each other in our classroom.  We've discussed events and also some solutions and we will continue to do this in health over the next few weeks.

I would really appreciate it if you take a few minutes at home to discuss and reinforce these ideas with your child as well. 

Thank you for all that you each do to help your child to grow!
