Dufur Students are AMAZING! Lots to celebrate in this Season of Giving.
At the beginning of our time together for social/emotional learning, we check in as a class of how we are feeling. We use 👍 (great day) 👎 (tough day) or thumb to the side for doing ok today. Students sometimes share why they are feeling the way they are and we often ask what we can do to help if someone is a 👎. Yesterday in Mrs. Flores’ Kindergarten class, a student responded that a hug would help. Her classmates immediately asked “GROUP HUG????”, when she replied “Yes”, this is the support she got! I am in constant awe of the empathy, respect and love our kids show one another on a daily basis!
