 One of the highlights this year has been the way in which students from Croxton Multiage Class have been participating in the learning life of 3/4/5J and 3/4C. Each week students from these classes have been learning about strategies and skills that help make us resilient people through the Bounce Back Program. Lessons explore relationships and communication as well as dealing with emotions and solving conflicts effectively. Recently students constructed a sun with acrostic poems containing phrases and words that remind them of hope when they are in difficult times. "What gives this time a real sharpness," says Jeff (the 3/4/5J teacher), "is that we get to talk and learn about what it means to be human, who we want to be as people. We ask ourselves who do we want to be and how can we make decisions that help shape who we want to be. Plus, it's a lot of fun!"
