As soon as the Cubs walked in the door this morning, I was bombarded with questions, statements and concerns over the violent storms that shook Commerce yesterday. Since I could tell that they were needing to talk about their experiences, we had a community oval time where they got to share anything they wanted to tell me about the storm. We reviewed the good listener skills that we learned at the beginning of the year and we passed our Kelso frog around the oval as we shared. Since writing can be therapeutic, we incorporated our experiences into our journal time. This friend chose not to speak about about their experience but I hope writing helped his heart.
