Greetings Aquila Community,
Our young learners are incredibly observant and often more aware than we might realize. This being the case, we are aware that some students may have questions about events that are unfolding in Eastern Europe right now. As a community, we want to offer resources for calming students' anxiety. When students share concerns, we find it helpful to engage by asking our young learners questions and providing clarification. We do not share too many details, so it is important to start with what they think they know. Some questions you might ask are:
What do you believe is happening?
What have you seen or heard that make you think that?
How does this make you feel?
Be prepared to support and provide clarification. If anxious feelings get too big, please let us know. We are available to support at school.
