"We love each other and help"

In the art studio, a group of students started a project to decorate our door. Maya taught them how to cut hearts from paper and they are busily giving them to each other to put up. 

Maya also wrote a lovely message for every one to see as they enter:

"We love each other and help."

As far as class promises go, it's a good one!

We also came up with a few other things to remember as we learn:

We've already seen this loving group of children following the rules they created. 

As we begin our journey into learning, we are spending these first few weeks to establish a strong, loving, safe, and self regulated community. A solid foundation now is essential for our learning later.
