One of the reasons I love Holy Child Academy so much is because it is not just a building with 4 wall but it is a community. It is a community that cares for each other and helps each other.
This week was our first true community time. Each child is given a "family" unity that consisted of children from all different grades. All the way from 8th grade all the way down to our Nursery 2 children. To continue to be Covid safe our community time took place outside with the children wearing their masks. The focus this month was on families. Just like we are learning about in class with our sign language. Their group leader asked them questions to get to know everyone better. They also colored in special flags that will be displayed in the cafeteria with things that they like.
I children really enjoy spending time with the older children. The older children are so wonderful with our little guys. They know all of their names and will greet them in the hallways. They will stop and help one of our little ones if they see that they need help. They will hold the doors for us when we are coming in and out of the playground. They make the children feel SPECIAL!!
