The month before Christmas can be a very long time for children! They have to wait and wait for the big day. All month they hear about Christmas on TV, the radio, and Internet. As a school we try to give greater meaning during this time of waiting by teaching and celebrating Ad-vent. Advent helps us all keep the focus of Christmas on Jesus rather than the commercial aspects of Christmas. Advent begins Sunday, December 3rd. This year during the school day your

child will participate in daily Advent prayers and weekly activities. We will read scripture on the coming of Christ. Students will reflect on what this means to them. They will participate in a variety of reflective activities. How can you celebrate Advent at home? We have included in this week’s envelope an Advent calendar. This calendar has a daily action for your child to do. Each night, take time to look at the calendar and ask your child what he has done to com-plete that action. Help your child think about actions they can do for each daily activity. Some families like to celebrate with an Advent wreath. You can purchase one, or simply use four candles: three purple and one pink. You can light a candle on each Sunday of Advent. You can read a simple passage from the bible or an advent prayer. The first week’s candle is a purple and represents hope. The second is also purple and represents peace. The third is the pink candle and represents joy. The last candle is purple and represents love. We hope your family takes time to celebrate Advent as the season of waiting in hope for Jesus’s birth.

Dear Parents

Advent

During the upcoming months students in all grades will continue to practice

being kind and respectful to uplift the Prince of Peace School Community.

Teaching kindness reduces bullying. Instead of teaching children what NOT

to do, teaching them what they CAN do is important to create change. Teach-

ing and encouraging kindness is related to many of the following positive

outcomes:

- Happy children! There is a natural good feeling that results when we do an

act of kindness, even if it’s small. Happy and compassionate children do not

have a need to bully others.

-Higher self-esteem. The sense of accomplishment and positive feeling we get when doing something kind increases our

sense of belonging. Children will feel like they can have a true impact on their environment.

- More friends. Feeling accepted and liked by peers is usually very important to children of all ages. Kindness increases

our connections with other people on a deeper level.

-Improved academic success. The feel good effects of being kind help increase children’s concentration and memory,

which greatly impacts learning.

- Better mental health. Acts of kindness increase serotonin levels, the natural brain chemical that improves mood. Have a

consistently unhappy child? Encourage them to look outside themselves and be kind to someone else.

Thank you,

To Santa: For coming to visit Prince of

Peace School and bringing joy to the

Dec. 1st

El mes antes de Navidad puede ser un tiempo muy largo para los niños! Tienen que esperar y esperar para el gran día. A lo largo de todo el mes escuchan acerca de la Navidad en la televisión, radio y Internet. Como escuela intentamos dar un mayor significado durante este tiempo de espera enseñando y celebrando. El Adviento nos ayuda a mantener el enfoque durante la Navidad en Jesús, más que en los aspectos comerciales de la Navidad.

El Adviento inicia el domingo 3 de diciembre. Este año durante el día escolar su hijo participara en oraciones diarias y actividades semanales de Adviento. Vamos a leer las escrituras sobre la venida de Cristo. Los estudiantes reflexionarán sobre lo que esto significa para ellos. Participarán en una variedad de actividades reflexivas.

¿Cómo puede celebrar el Adviento en casa? Hemos incluido en el sobre de esta semana un calendario de Adviento. Este calendario especifica una acción diaria para que haga su hijo (a). Cada noche, Tómese el tiempo para revisar el calendario y preguntarle a su hijo (a) lo que ha hecho para completar la acción. Ayudar a su hijo (a) a pensar en acciones que puedan realizar para cada actividad diaria.

Algunas familias les gusta celebrar con una guirnalda de Adviento. Puede adquirir una o simplemente utilizar cuatro velas: tres de color violeta y una de color rosa. Puede encender una vela cada domingo de Adviento. Usted puede leer un simple pasaje de la Biblia o una oración de Adviento. La vela para la primera semana es de color púrpura y representa una esperanza. La segunda también es de color púrpura y representa la paz. La tercera es la vela rosada y representa la alegría. La última vela es de color púrpura y representa el amor. Esperamos que su familia se tome el tiempo para celebrar el Adviento como la temporada de espera con la esperanza del nacimiento de Jesús.

Adviento

Durante los próximos meses los estudiantes en todos los grados seguirán práctica ser amables y respetuosos para elevar a la comunidad escolar de Príncipe de Paz. La enseñanza de la bondad reduce la intimidación. En lugar de enseñar a los ni-ños lo que NO debe hacer, enseñarles lo que pueden hacer es importante para crear un cambio. Enseñar y fomentar la amabilidad se relaciona con muchos de los resultados positivos siguientes: -Niños felices! Hay una buena sensación natural que resulta cuando hacemos un acto de bondad, incluso si es pequeño. Ni-ños felices y compasivos no tienen necesidad de intimidar a otros. -Una mayor autoestima. El sentido de logro y sentimiento positivo que conseguimos al hacer algo bueno aumenta nuestro sentido de existencia. Los niños sentirán como que tienen un verdadero impacto en su entorno. -Más amigos. Sentirse aceptado y querido por sus compañeros es generalmente muy importante para los niños de todas las edades. La amabilidad aumenta nuestras conexiones con otras personas en un nivel más profundo. Mejorar el éxito académico. Los efectos de buena sensación por ser amables ayuda a aumentar la concentración y la memo-ria, los cuales afectan enormemente el aprendizaje de los niños.

Mejor salud mental. Actos de bondad aumentan los niveles de serotonina, químico natural del cerebro que mejora el estado de ánimo. ¿Tiene un niño que está constantemente descontento? Anímelos a buscar fuera de sí mismos y a ser amables con alguien.
