Belonging

 Reminders:

• Next Wednesday is the last day library books will be signed out. Please ensure your child returns their reading folder so they can take out one last book for the year!

Over the last few weeks, we have been learning a lot about the word BELONGING. 

Here are some of the definitions of BELONGING students have shared with their peers:

"A group of people together who like each other is belonging" - H.F.

"People who like each other, stay together." - K.W.

"Staying together with your friends and not being mean." - A.Q.

"People who live in a city are a group and belong together." - K.M.

"There are 5 people who belong in my family group." - N.V.

"when everyone is in a group, you can't leave somebody out. All the people in the group are included and belong together." - C.L.

"Sharing with your friends is belonging." - T.J.

"Sitting together with everyone you love is belonging." - M.L.

We have read a number of storybooks that all centre around the idea of belonging. Feel free to watch any of these titles by clicking on the video.
