Happy Valentine's Day from Ms O'Connor's 4th class! This week we created some beautiful Valentine's themed artwork and cards. We also explored the importance of caring about ourselves and engaging in positive self-talk through the use of positive affirmations. Positive affirmations are simple, positive phrases that we can repeat to ourselves regularly. These affirmations stop negative self-talk and encourage positive thoughts and feelings. As a class, the children suggested different affirmations and then, individually chose the ones they feel are most important to them. These affirmations are now on display in our classroom, where they can been seen and repeated regularly.
