Rivers Class, we honor you for being unique and kind-hearted.
Each of you has your own special personality that makes our class fun and colorful, like a rainbow, which you all love! Seven colors in the rainbow and seven children! You said, “Each of us is like one color that together makes a big rainbow.” You all add your own unique ideas to our conversations. Each of you create your own beautiful artwork that is different from everyone else’s.
You share and play with kindness. You care and pray for your families and friends. You admire each others’ work and tell your friends how beautiful their work is. You all love to work with anyone in our class, joyfully inviting others. You comfort each other and want to know how everyone is doing.
Rivers Class, we honor you for being unique and kind-hearted.
We have reflected on our year, and said goodbye to various things in the classroom, and completed honoring each child. We have remembered some of the themes we have studied: spiders, ladybugs, plants, growing, royalty and castles, Shirley Chisholm, Garrett Morgan and Misty Copeland, and the stories of Jesus, particularly The Good Shepherd.
Children were given the opportunity to share what their favorite topic of study this past year was. Many said Shirley Chisholm and Garrett Morgan were their favorite topic. They also stated that they loved painting, making messages, blocks, the castle and other storytelling in drama.
Many children also said that their favorite thing was being honored!
Since you were unable to be with us, we thought you would enjoy the words that each child in the Rivers Class was honored with:
Adeline-purposeful
Andrew-expressive
Brady-a thinker
Elaina-perceptive
Eva-passionate
Lucia-enthusiastic
Maisie-a connector
What a joyful year!
