The Hundred Languages of Kindness

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family!  The Oak Room children have been teaching adults about kindness for a few weeks now.  Ms. Lena is in a grad school class and one of the things her group has been working on is studying inclusion which led to a study on kindness.  Oak Room children have been eager to share artwork, their words and so much more to help teach adults about kindness.  Please feel free to watch the linked YouTube video The Hundred Languages of Kindness that our group put together which includes input (and some artwork and words) from both the Oak Room students and from students of the other teachers in the group.  Here is even more of what the Oak Room children had to say about what kindness is:


DY - when uh when my mom was working upstairs I I washed a apple for her and put it on a tray and I gave her some water
DY - um if someone has a lot of artwork and when people dropped it a person could help pick it up
IF - sharing
CH - when we say nice words
CH - when somebody sad you could leave them alone
CH - one time that I asked Gertie if I could give her a hug she said no and I listened
LO - share magenetiles
KD - it’s like sharing is caring
GK - you could say you could say something but not but not yell about it and you could and you can also um share your toys
RN - when someone’s sad you can you can say do you want to play with me
GM - share materials
GM - When I’m done with dinner I help my mom put away the dishes
BW - if somebody feeling sad you could you could ask them if if um if if you could give them a high five
AF - don’t hurt people
OD - you help out people
KBS - well I always cook with my mom and I always clean up with her
TF - um when we were cleaning up for dinner I helped put put the dishes away


CH - nice
GK - so good that you could that you could play with somebody
GM - um it feels happy, happy
KBS - um kind and happy
TF - happy
NN - happy
RN - happy
DY - good
DY - It feels so good that you could jump all the way up to the moon

We will continue to look for and share kindness in the Oak Room and today we also worked with patterns among other things.









Have a day full of kindness!

Lunar New Year

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! The children have been learning about lunar new year and after the children helped repair Ms Lena’s lion last week we were able to do a lion dance as a class today.  The children listened to their own heartbeats while calm and after jumping around and then used instruments to act as the lion’s heartbeat fast and slow for different feelings of the lion. Today is the first day of Lunar New Year and the beginning of the year of the wood snake. We also enjoyed small capers today and practiced a fire drill.  We wish you a healthy and prosperous new year and hope that like the snake you can shed and leave behind that which you don’t want to bring with you into the new year!

Self Portrait Work & Another Guest Reader

Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today some children had the opportunity to work on their self portrait paintings. It is amazing to see the amount of growth in the children's detailed work since we first did this project in the Fall! We are excited to put our pictures on these pieces and get them displayed soon. We also had another fabulous guest reader this morning! G.B.'s mom came and read a few stories to the class. Thank you so much for visiting, Ms. Kylie! Friends had some fun in the gym this morning, too. It's hard to be stuck inside during these rainy Spring days, but we are making the most of our indoor spaces. It was a fantastic morning! Have a wonderful evening!
