Representing Feelings

Since we have been talking so much about our feelings and the many different emotions we can feel, the Pine class took some time today to represent different faces using various materials. Many of the kids referenced a board with a lot of different emotions labeled on it and try and recreate the face, while others made up their own faces.

"Look look I made it a sad face. He's feelin' sad, that's why he doesn't have a smile."

"Here's a mad face! He has a big mouth like this looking like he is mad."

"He's happy! He has eyes that look happy!"

The kids have been quite impressive by labeling how they feel and what is making them feel that way. Since the beginning of the year we have been implementing some strategies and activities guided by the Conscious Discipline curriculum. We have seen so many changes in how children are approaching their feelings and how they are dealing with problems within the classroom. Way to go!

Week 2 Day 2

Pine Family is rocking and rolling in week 2! We are having less feelings of sad, mad, and scared upon entering class and more happy and fun throughout the day! Friendly reminders: Water bottles should only come to school filled with water (it's the best for our bodies and in case another student would accidently take a sip it won't cause harm), sunscreen should be applied before drop off (there is not a lot of shade and not a lot of time for us to get the kiddos all lathered up), and bug spray should be applied before drop off (this is mostly needed when we start going to the forest on Tuesdays, starting on Sept 12th). Thanks :)

Happy First Day of School 24-25!

Welcome Pine Families to our 24-25 school year! We were so happy to have your kiddos with us today. Check out the fun we had :)

Day 2 Pine room fun!

Today we spent more time getting to know each other and exploring our spaces. For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.
