Winter scene story telling with loose parts! It was so much fun to watch and listen to children as they articulated their thinking and described their creations. @Churchvilleps #PeelEYC
Children have been observing the changes Autumn brings to trees and natural environment. Learning invitations of this week to further spark their wonders!
What kind of birds do we notice on our land? Children recorded their wonders about Robins, blue Jays, cardinals and Hummingbirds they have noticed. Looking at the documentation and birds nest sculptures we had conversations about our learning. #PeelEYC @Churchvilleps
Trauma isn’t just what happened to you.
Trauma is what didn’t happen.
Ignored.
Supressed.
What you should have received that you didn’t.
Nurture.
Love.
Support.
Connection.
Protection.
It’s how your nervous system learned to survive.
Healing starts with safety, not fixing🧠🌱

Thanks for highlighting how crucial trusting relationships & forstering a sense of belonging are for ensuring academic success & social-emotional well being for students, teachers & all staff. Seek to "see" & celebrate learners' gifts & strengths. Make this a priority from Day 1.
"You are changing their lives. The school system can’t do it without you. The children need you and your strong belief that they can and will become literate." 📚🍎

Here is what I know to be true:
When we put the needs of the most vulnerable learners at the forefront of our planning, ALL students are more likely to succeed.
It’s that simple.
All kids deserve adequately funded schools and supports for safety and academic success.
