"You Are You" Day
On February 28th, the staff & students of St. Clare
celebrated promoted individual awareness through "You Are You" Day
activities. All students and staff were encouraged to wear clothes and dress in
such a way that expresses who they are (as long as it was appropriate and within school rules).
In conjunction with Hymn Sing that day, we had a school assembly
where we watched videos and listened to musical selections that were centered
on this theme. Throughout the day, teachers across the divisions also did classroom &
buddy activities which focused on ideas like buddy reading, art activities, lessons from S4 resources as well as random acts of kindness initiatives.
Some classes read books and stories that supported the
overarching idea which was to celebrate and respect the differences we each
have. Some of the books explored were:
-
“Stephanie’s Ponytail”
-
“Tacky the Penguin”
-
“The Best Part of Me”
-
“We are All Wonders”
Teachers of Division 2 classes enjoyed similar stories in
addition to art activities, music and videos which explored the theme of self-awareness,
respecting individual differences and finding one’s inner strength.
Posted along with this blog is a visual display that has been set-up on the glass showcase windows of "The Studio" which highlight some of the day’s events.
