Weekly Update….
Circle
time discussions:
Last week
was anti-bullying week at Abraar School and JK1 class were spoken to about it.
Students
were shown pictures about bullying (posted on our bulletin board) and discussed
the 3 strategies of what to do if you ever get bullied. (1- Take a stand 2- tell
an adult 3- stay safe).
We also
talked about the concept of bucket filling and bucket dipping (ask your
son/daughter about it).
Students got
to know that doing good things not only fills your bucket, but also fills other
peoples’ too.
We read some
stories related to the theme (Fill a bucket and Will you fill my
bucket?)
We usually
do our theme discussions early in the morning after the calendar and weather.
Along with
