🎉 Danny here, your connection and belonging ambassador! 🎉 What an extraordinary day we had with Aledo ISD's new teachers yesterday, right? Sharing stories, building bridges, and creating a community that feels more like a family. If our hearts are the homes, our stories are the bricks that build them. And you folks, you're some of the best builders I've met. 👷♂️🏠 As new educators, you're not just teaching lessons but shaping lives. Remember to remember the stories around you because each is a stepping stone to connection and belonging. Here's the thing, though. This isn't just about schools. It's about counseling practices, places of faith, workplaces, and anywhere humans gather and share their journey. Feel free to reach out if you want someone to help you build these connections. We're all in this together. 🤝 And yes, for my fellow lifelong learners, we do offer CEUs! So, if you're eager to learn more about fostering connection and belonging, email me at [email protected]. Thanks for being part of this amazing day, Aledo ISD. Here's to creating communities, one story at a time. Keep shining, keep connecting, and remember - every story matters. Until next time, friends! #TheMessages #MessagesonConnectionandBelonging #Connection #Belonging #Community #NewEducators #DannyLRoss #DLRCounselingGroup

In our enchanting world of early education, we're weaving a magical tapestry of manners and kindness. At KA- The Preschool , the magical words "I am sorry," "Thank you," "Please," and "Excuse me" hold the key to a harmonious and joyful learning environment. But why are these magic words important during early education? ✨ Saying "I am sorry": Little hearts learn the power of empathy and understanding, fostering a culture of compassion. 🌟 Expressing "Thank you": Gratitude becomes a daily practice, cultivating a positive atmosphere where appreciation blooms. 🎈 Using "Please": The magic wand for collaborative play, teaching our tiny learners the art of making requests with kindness. 🚀 "Excuse me" Adventures: Nurturing courteous communication, our little explorers navigate their world with politeness. As we strive to provide the best for our future generation, we would love your support on this wonderful journey. Let's make these special words not just the basis of education, but also of building good character. By teaching these words and their meanings at home, we can help children understand the importance of being polite and make it a habit throughout their school experience. Together, let's create a community where the magic of politeness shines brightly! 🌟🏫✨ KA- The Preschool #knowledge #kidsactivities #PrePrimaryMagic #PolitenessMatters #EarlyEducationMagic 🧚♂️📚

Nurturing Growth: The Impact of Proactive Communication & Pastoral Care in Education Transitioning into a new school, in a leadership role and in a new country, brings with it both expected challenges and delightful surprises. What has been particularly eye-opening for me is experiencing this transition through the lens of our four-year-old daughter. Settling into her new school at ELIS Murcia, within the purpose-built early years centre, has been a remarkable journey. One afternoon, a few weeks in, our daughter shared with us that she wanted to ask her new friends to play her favourite games during break time but was uncertain of their names. That evening, as we unpacked her bag, we discovered a note from her teacher in the daily communication journal. It was heartening to find out that they had already noticed our daughter's struggle with learning the names of her classmates. In a stroke of simple brilliance, her teacher designated her the 'fruit monitor', a role that allowed her to assist during snack time by calling out her classmate's names and handing them their snacks. This seemingly small gesture made an immense impact. Fast forward a few weeks, and our drives home are now filled with our daughter's joyful stories about playing with her newfound friends. It's moments like these that affirm our belief in the exceptional nature of this school and solidify our happiness in choosing it for our daughters. This experience has underscored the vital importance of proactive pastoral care and open communication in the educational journey. It is a reminder that even the smallest gestures can have a profound impact on a child's sense of belonging and well-being in their learning environment. #Education #ProactiveCare #CommunicationMatters #HolisticLearning #EmpoweringChildren #ELISMurcia

Today’s NAEYC Week of the Young Child theme is 🌟 Work Together Wednesday! 🌟 Working together at a young age promotes essential skills like communication, cooperation, and empathy, crucial for success in school and beyond. Here are some great ideas for children to work together. Teamwork makes the dream work! 👏 👣 Block Builders- Children can work together to build a tower using blocks or other building materials. Each child can contribute by selecting and placing blocks, fostering collaboration and coordination. 👣 Create a Story- Children can work together to create a story by taking turns adding to the plot or drawing pictures to illustrate different parts of the story. This promotes creativity and communication. 👣 Playing a group game- Children can engage in a group game such as a scavenger hunt or relay race. Working together encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and social skills development as they learn to take turns and share. Try it out! 8 Get-Along-Great Games for Preschoolers: bit.ly/3vLZu1w Visit elcoc.org to learn about the high-quality early learning programs and services we offer!

What if learning wasn't a chore but an adventure that children look forward to everyday? We believe in the extraordinary power of play, curiosity, and engaged learning to shape young minds and ignite a lifelong love for knowledge. Our Learn & Play Day Camp is more than just a day camp, it is a place where children are encouraged to unleash their creativity and explore what makes them shine! Why Learn & Play Approach? Children are natural explorers, dreamers, and creators. Through play, they discover the world around them, develop essential social skills, and unleash their creativity. Engaged learning, on the other hand, transforms their curiosity into a thirst for knowledge, paving the way for academic success and personal growth. The VICI Learn & Play Approach: 🌟 Inclusive of all children: We understand that every child is unique, and our programs are tailored to honour their individuality, strengths, and interests. 🌟 Fostering Confidence: Through a blend of engaging activities and collaborative projects, we empower children to believe in themselves and embrace new challenges with resilience. 🌟 Holistic Development: Our Day Camp goes beyond traditional education, nurturing not just intellectual growth, but also emotional intelligence, teamwork, and adaptability. 🌟🚀👫 Learn more on our website: https://lnkd.in/eU8Hjnue 🌟🚀👫 #VICILearnAndPlay #EmpoweredEducation #PlayBasedLearning #CuriosityUnleashed

Quality summer programs and camps play a pivotal role in mitigating the effects of summer learning loss, a phenomenon where children can lose a significant amount of the knowledge and skills they acquired during the school year. These camps provide structured, yet enjoyable, educational activities that keep children's minds engaged and active. This continuous engagement ensures that children return to school in the fall better prepared and less likely to struggle with the transition back to school. Camps that offer specialized programs in areas such as technology, arts or environmental studies provide children with opportunities to delve deeper into subjects that interest them, fostering a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom. By addressing the educational needs of children during the summer months, these camps play an essential role in combating summer learning loss and promoting long-term academic success.

I help Women 40+ : Lifestyle Transformation , heal their stresses and burn out & Mindfulness Expert with nutrition and healing. Master Reiki teacher ,Access Bar / Sound healing facilitator & practitioner
Here’s why we start teaching self-responsibility at a young age in our kindergarten class 👇👇👇 We crafted our classroom agreements with our young learners. We decided together. We committed together. And we don’t worry about whether this makes us the most orderly classroom. Why? Because fostering self-responsibility isn’t about keeping a tidy room. It’s about: - Empowering kids. - Encouraging respect for others and the environment. - Instilling habits that extend beyond the classroom walls. And guess what? It shapes them more than you think. You believe teaching responsibility early only prepares them for school? Think bigger. Congratulations. You’re nurturing future citizens. That’s the power of early education. Don’t wait for them to grow up to become responsible. Start now Start at home #parenttips #parentingathome #earlyeducation #kindergarten #mindfulteaching #lifeskills
