Inclusion and Showing Love
I Am Love
"I Am Love" written and read by Susan Verde
Listen to this beautiful book by Susan Verde and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. She reads this story and guides you through a loving-kindness meditation. Quality education needs to include and show love to all. Inclusion is being a part of what everyone else is, being welcomed and embraced as a member who belongs.
Ask yourself these questions:
How did Susan Verde's meditation make you feel? What can we do with our love?
How are you showing yourself love this summer?

Create a "Love Dance"
Love feels so good that we often smile, laugh, sing and dance when we are with those we love. Choose a song your family likes and make up actions or dance moves you can do together. Have a good time and savor the moments spending some time with someone you love!

Send a Homemade Card
Ask your child who they would like to make a card for and talk about why they chose that person. Is that person kind to them? Do they enjoy spending time with that person? Think about how that person makes you feel and how we can try to display those same qualities to other people around us.
