This week I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to be at Gust Elementary preparing 3rd Grade classes for a special presentation they have coming up this Wednesday. It’s part of their Random Acts of Kindness program spearheaded by Ms. Leach, and we couldn’t be happier to help out!
The program focuses on developing social emotional skills, as well as the vocabulary to talk about them… and now the kids will be presenting to their parents at an assembly!
Rock 2 the Core songs ‘The 5 Cs Chant”, and “Community (Comunidad)” fit in nicely to the curriculum, and the kids have been having a blast learning them!
I’ve really been touched by the fact that Gust Elementary is doing such a wonderful job at making social emotional intelligence a priority. I also was moved today to see Spanish speaking kids helping their fellow students learn the chorus to “Community”, which is in Spanish. It gave them an opportunity to be a subject matter expert, and it was an excellent example of community and collegiality!
I’ll update after the presentation on Wednesday, but I’m so proud of these students, and I can’t wait for the assembly!
