At B’s Preschool & North we talk all about letting our inner light shine. This means that a child is radiating because of living out a virtue (ex. being courageous about trying something new). As valuable and powerful as the virtue words can be, sometimes our little friends may not know exactly what they mean. We take time each month to focus on one virtue at a time helping the children understand them, live them out, and spot them in others. We bring up the virtues through circle time conversations, books, songs, activities, and more. We also love to hear how the virtue is playing out at home and for your family!
