In the Dolphin Class...

Teacher Ellen
The first three days of school have been full of fun, friends, and discovery. Name tags, washing hands, routines... there are a lot of new things to learn and do at school.

Many come to school full of confidence. Some come to school with a little more hesitation: will I be safe? Will someone care for and love me? Learning how to be away from our parents and home, as well as how to be a part of a group is an important part of coming to school.

The first thing we start to do is form relationships. We respect each other by listening, and giving others space, and by knowing when to help, or how to take turns.

There are lots of opportunities for cooperation...

...as well as for snuggles.

There are opportunities to be social...

... as well as opportunities to learn what each one of us can do.

Friends make discoveries,

and set things up

to share with a new friend.

All of these things help us grow and learn more about how the world goes round.
