Reflection: Virtue Formation in the Classroom

For History class, we learned about the virtues in Latin: the language used in Ancient Rome. Each table group chose a Latin virtue as their group name, and discussed one virtuous action they will practice throughout the week:

Here are some wonderful examples that happened in the class this week:

Team Spes (Hope) began applauding for each student when they shared ideas during carpet time. Soon the whole class began cheering their classmates on for practicing courage by sharing their ideas! 

Team Fides (Faith) constantly share intentions during end-of-school prayer time, praying for their classmates, family, friends, and teachers. 

Team Fortitudo (Fortitude) practices sharing ideas more with the class (especially the ones who are usually shy!) Because they're practicing courage, other students are also gaining the courage to share their ideas, too! :)

Question: How can you practice these virtue action goals at home? 

Note about PHE uniforms

Grade 2s have Physical Health Education (PHE) and movement breaks throughout the week. The students will stay in their school uniforms during these activities, as there is not enough time or space for changing. Please do not send students in PHE uniforms under their regular uniforms.

PHE uniforms are only needed for special events (Terry Fox Run, Walkathon, Sports Day) and clubs (Cross Country, Track & Field).

Thank you for supporting our class' smooth transitions and active learning time! :)
