YEAR 1 MY WELLBEING JOURNAL LEARNING MORE ABOUT ME Dear parents and teachers, children will need your support by you explaining and offering direction for the evidence-based activities in this journal. The intention is for children to develop more self-awareness so that they can self-regulate how they think, act and feel.

FRIENDSHIPS WEEKS These occur throughout the journal every 12 weeks. Encourage the children to draw or describe how they could use one of the four strengths, gratitude, teamwork, kindness and leadership to build friendships with classmates and other students. Make a Strengths Wall in the classroom for children to draw or describe things that they or classmates did to show the strength. Also, at home, encourage families to make a Strengths Wall on the fridge, to participate as well.
