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!

Welcome back

 Happy Tuesday! I hope you enjoyed your extra long weekend together but glad to see you all today. We changed out our word of the week, ask your kiddo if they remember what it is (PUT). At centers we continued exploring small world and our bakery. We opened the sensory table again and some faux snow and polar animals which was a big hit! We also changed out our gross motor center, changing out our obstacle course (crawl through tunnel, jump 10 times on the trampoline, and (steam)roll or summersault on the mat) for some thing new. Ask your kiddo if they tried to scoop the snowball, carry it across the balance beam and PUT it on the snowman.

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 :)

(we only did a light rinse, beware that colors will run when you wash!!) TOMORROW: WATER DAY! You need to wear your suit, water friendly shoes, sunscreen already applied, water bottle, towel and dry clothes to change into!
