Learner Profile Connection
Peer relationships are connecting to being caring. We want students to care for others and be respect to those around them. Students show sensitivity towards the needs and feelings of others and are thoughtful and helpful. By creating a positive environment in our classroom students care for their peers and their teacher.
In Peer relationships students must be open-minded. Students are open to new experiences and to the beliefs and ideas of other children.
