Kia Kaha

We have started teaching the Kia Kaha (Police teaching unit,) across the school over the past week and the kids in room 21, seem to be really enjoying learning about what makes them the same as well as what makes them different.  
During one of the activities I gave the kids the chance to 'graffiti art' what makes them special.  I loved how involved they were with the new 'liquid chalk' and that quite a few kids stayed beyond the lunchtime bell to continue to write about what makes them special!  
If you have been past the outside window of room 21, we would love to hear what you think... If you haven't maybe you could use this as your opportunity and come take a look.  
We would love to hear what makes your child special in the comments below..!  
Thanks for dropping by!  
Ms. (Gina) Grant!
