‘THE RABBIT LISTENED’
Cori Doerrfeld

Taylor feels sad and needs help. Thankfully, a cast of animal characters are there to offer up lots of advice, but none of it feels quite right until a rabbit shows Taylor the power of listening. Teaching kids to listen is a hugely important aspect of teaching empathy, and this book nails it on the head.

Interesting read: For the past seven years in a row, Denmark has consistently ranked as one of the happiest nations in the world. Maybe the way they raise their children is the reason why.

Teachers also subtly mix children of different strengths and weaknesses together as everyone has positive qualities and are encouraged to support each other in their efforts to reach the next level. “The math whiz may be terrible at soccer, and vice versa. This system fosters collaboration, teamwork, and respect.”

It’s not just a one-off lesson or a conversation held on World Kindness Day. Students learn about empathy, kindness and respect from the time that they enter the school system. Danish teachers place equal emphasis on academics as well as emotions. And it’s not just about making a grade—it’s about raising kind, understanding children. That’s something we definitely support.

It makes me so happy to see that our students absolutely love to learn Arabic.

How often do we see kids that focused? 😂 Yesterday’s end of day activity was sorting pompoms by color using tweezers, focusing on building fine motor skills and once finished they sorted the pompoms by size.
I can tell you that their pencil grip has improved immensely in the past two weeks only, most of our students do not use any pencil grip aids at all anymore 💃
