For the month of December we celebrate the importance of inclusion and this month’s theme: Communities Welcome All Members

What does inclusion mean?

Inclusion is making sure that everyone feels welcome and part of the group.

I – I is for inclusion. Inclusion means including others whenever possible.
N – N is for never. Never stare at anyone who looks or acts differently than you.
C – C is for care. Care for others even if they are different from you.
L – L is for love. Love your neighbor
U – U is for unbelievable. Notice the unbelievable talents in others.
S – S is for smile. Smile and wave so others feel happy too.
I- I is for I am. I am enough!
O- O is for open. Open your heart and space to make others feel welcomed.
N- N is for new friend. Reach out and play with someone new. You never know what you will learn from him/her.

Our book this month is You Are Enough by Margaret O’Hair:

Listen to our song of the month:

How can we be a friend to someone who needs a friend?
– Say hi
– Ask them to play with you at recess or sit with you at lunch
– Include them in your conversation if they look lonely
– Ask them questions about themselves- try to get to know them on the insidecope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen>
