This week we talked about personal space and making friends. Did you know that everyone has a different amount of personal space? Some people need a whole bunch and some people need just a little. When we are sharing a space such as a classroom or a community space we need to respect others and be sure to keep our hands to ourselves. We read "Personal Space Camp" to some of our students, written by Julia Cook. One of our students was quite surprised to learn how upset people can get when their personal space is invaded, even in a friendly way. I also read "How To Behave And Why" written by Munro Leaf, and then talked about what behavior is and how it affects those around us. I will be reading this book and sharing this discussion with all of our grade one classes.
