Special greetings, sharing thoughts and shaking the sillies out are coveted morning rituals as students begin their day at Goosehill. These professional development practices continue this year during morning class time that fosters a safe and healthy learning environment by meeting the social-emotional needs of students’ developing competencies, including assertiveness, cooperation, empathy, perseverance, responsibility and self-control. Each morning, classrooms engage in activities designed to start the day, set goals, shake out some energy and share special moments with each other. The students love it as they start their day with a smile during circle time, whether it’s simply saying hello to friends, playing a game, or sharing special moments – these students in Ms. Novelli’s and Ms. Cucolo’s classes wish you all a good morning!
