Teaching Grace and Courtesy with Animals

May 4, 2016 General Blog

Claire and Ceyda’s Class started a six-week program that combines both grace and courtesy and mindfulness in the classroom. This program fosters positive outcomes of love, kindness, and empathy through interacting with furry friends and reading books about a dog named Little Dude. The series of books focus on different topics: feelings, empathy, respect, kindness, manners and courage.Over the last few weeks, the children have had the opportunity to read or talk to Brownie, our class guinea pig! Brownie’s cage was set out on a rug and children were able to sit on “The Brownie Rug” and read, talk or just sit beside Brownie. Today, Claire’s class had a special guest visit Brooksfield. Coco, Carlie’s dog, came to Brooksfield for the morning! The children took turns reading, walking and playing with Coco. The children practiced using gentle hands, being kind to Coco and showing her respect.
As an act of kindness, Claire’s class is collecting donated items for Fairfax County Animal Shelter. On May 12th, the Kindergartners in Claire and Ceyda’s class will go to the animal shelter to drop off the items.
