This week guidance took place in 1st and 2nd grade. Our lesson was the Warm Fuzzy Lesson where we learned about being Warm and Fuzzy. We discussed how to be kind and what kindness looks like at school. We shared examples and practiced what that looks like during the school day. This lesson helps set up our school climate to be warm and fuzzy. We love to spread kindness at JRE!
