🐾💖 Our counselor, Mr. Daniel Aguilar, led an inspiring discussion on “Empathy” with our Cougars during lunch, incorporating little rubber duckies as engaging visual aids. This month, we’re focusing on Empathy as our monthly trait, and our Cougars have already shown incredible capacity for empathy. Here are some ways we can all cultivate empathy. 🌟 To be empathetic, actively listen to others, try to understand their perspective by "putting yourself in their shoes," avoid making assumptions, be curious about their experiences, and respond with supportive and validating language, showing that you care about their feelings and are trying to connect with them on a deeper level are all ways to display empathy. 💖🐾

Yesterday we had the Planetarium Assembly in our new cafeteria. Our students all were able to learn about the Greek Constellations, the Milky Way Galaxy, the Sun, our moon, and all of the planets. Everyone loved it! I am including a link that has some information about the planetarium, so you can learn a little bit about it too.

Our next AR party will be a Minute to Win it party. The kids have been introduced to a game that will be at the party at each of our weekly assemblies. Today's game was to keep all 3 balloons in the air for 60 seconds. The kids were so excited to see them played. All students who are in AR can earn the party by meeting their AR points goal with 80% accuracy. Make sure to read those AR books every day. 🐾📚

🌍🫶🏼🐾 Today is World Kindness Day! First a little history, it was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement. World Kindness Day is an annual event that encourages individuals to practice kindness in their daily lives. It highlights the importance of empathy, understanding, and cooperation to create a more harmonious and caring world. Here at Von Renner we are all about supporting and nurturing good deeds, acts and kind habits. Early this morning Mrs. Dianna Hartsook Henriques and some of our Von Renner Elementary School Cougars were busy writing kind encouraging words and cheering as our Cougars came into school. One random act of kindness can change the world! 🐾🫶🏼🌍
Ms. Yorke's class had a pumpkin pie eating contest. The kids really enjoyed it. Mrs. Plascencia also had a contest vs. Ms. Yorke.
