Three times each year, the preschool and lower school classes gather as a group to discuss and reflect on three values – Cooperation, Courage, and Compassion.
In the fall, the entire group worked cooperatively in preparing and enjoying a fruit salad. Older students helped the younger ones and everyone took turns putting together the delicious treat. This winter, the group came together to share ways in which they had been courageous in their own lives and how we can be inspired by the courage of others. Just this week, the group gathered in the library to discuss the complex topic of compassion. As you will see in the videos below, the preschool group shared when they have been compassionate to others, the Kindergarten class explained and displayed their “pay compassion forward” matrix, the Grade 1-2 class shared what they learned about their friends at Kimble Farms, and Grade 3 wrote about and shared their observances of compassion.
Thank you to this great group of kids and their parents for being a part of this wonderful school!
