A Very Happy Birthday and lots of love!

We want to wish the happiest of birthdays to our friend FJ!
She had so much fun painting her birthday bubble with a big group of friends, being the line leader, and listening to her friends sing Happy Birthday to her!
Happy Birthday, FJ!!!
This morning, we decided to revisit the idea of affirmations. Earlier in the year, we introduced affirmations to the children, and they responded so positively. As the year has gone on, we realized how meaningful and grounding this practice can be, and felt it was the perfect time to bring it back into our classroom routine.

We began by reading I Like Myself!, a joyful story that celebrates self-love, confidence, and embracing what makes each of us unique. The book created a warm space for talking about how we see ourselves.

After the story, we introduced four simple affirmations that we believe can truly shape how the children view themselves each day. Each child was given a small mirror so they could look at their own reflection while repeating the affirmations. We really want them to see themselves in each statement, to connect the words not just to the air around them, but to the person looking back at them.

It was a powerful moment watching them hold their mirrors, some smiling shyly, others confidently repeating the words. Revisiting affirmations reminded us how important it is to nurture not only academic growth, but also a strong, positive sense of self.

Check out the video below of the children saying our new affirmations!





Be Happy, Be Kind
Sois Heureux, Sois Gentil
