Hi parents,
The
children are showing vast improvement every week. They are settling into the
school routines very well. This inspires us to introduce new activities that need
more of their participation/active listening. We started with ´class host ´
this week. Class host is the child
who goes through the day´s plan and the calendar, takes attendance, keeps track
of time and helps the teachers with the lessons whenever needed. The idea is to
encourage them to participate in the class routines and learn to present -
speaking, body language and also listening to each other with respect.
Apart from
the regular, we are working diligently on Class council where the children
express their views and opinions freely to the two class representatives –
Bella and Benjamin. This week´s topic was - taking responsibility for the things
happening around them. We discussed how far it is OK to avoid telling on their
friends. We concluded after several examples (Police, thief and we citizens)
that one should say STOP to the friend not being nice to you or to the others and
then go to the teacher if that friend does not stop. Moreover, we concluded that
teacher should be informed in any case. The class unanimously opined that approaching
the teacher directly is better than involving in the fight to help a friend. Responsibility
towards material goods was also discussed. We talked about cleanliness in the
toilets.

Today we
talked about how to deal if a stranger approaches them with promises of candies
and puppies. We pointed out that if it does not feel right, they should say ´´No,
Thank you!´´ and contact a trustworthy grown up around them.
Week 46
On Wednesday, the 4th of November the class is going to a play in a theatre located in Södermalm. We will leave at 9:00 which means that the children should be here by 8:50. The schedule for the play is very tight and we do not have possibility for waiting for the late comers. If it is not possible for you to drop your child before 8:50, you can drop them in FA. The children should bring packed lunch and water bottle from home. No nuts, sweets or carbonated drinks are permitted. Dress your child according to the weather.
Letter of
the week is M. As we will be away on
the Wednesday, we will work on the window on Thursday.
