Day Seventeen

We live in a fast-paced and pressure packed world. It could be a pretty daunting undertaking raising a family for some.
​

But if we create a classroom community with traditions and rituals it turns daunting into a community of supporting friends and meaningful relationships.

Rituals and traditions are a way of connecting to our students and their families on a deeper level.  They create bonds and build relationships that can…  
  • Boost children’s brain potential
  • Heal old wounds
  • Increase learning potential
  • Hold groups together
  • Strengthen attention spans
  • Strengthen social development
  • Strengthen bonds between adults and children

​When we take the time to incorporate rituals into our daily and weekly routines it fosters the development of loving, caring, and emotionally healthy children.

Here is a sample of a ritual that you can use with children throughout the day.

Then throw in a splash of traditions throughout the year and you have the glue that holds all of the mosaic pieces of love together.

​Yearly traditions to consider
  • ​Friendship March
  • Family Feast
  • Coco with Santa
  • Muffins for Moms
  • ​Doughnuts for Dads ​


Task:
​Think of part of your day and try to fit in at least two rituals or I love you rituals  to your schedule.
