November 25,

Dear Families,
During our morning circle we listened to beautiful pan flute music, a student shared her drum, another student shared a geode. Students expressed that they enjoy this quiet time because it helps them feel calm and ready to learn.  We read about the buffalo today. The buffalo was key to the survival of many peoples, They were vital to the ecosystem as a major source of food for animals and humans. The buffalo represents respect. It is a positive influence connected with endurance, strength and protection.   We discussed what we thought respect was and why it is important.

We are looking forward to listening to stories from our next Guest reader. Please see calendar below...
