Friendship Circle

Good morning & happy Tuesday! Today was our first meeting with Ms. Ann where she conducted a friendship circle with our class and Dogwood. Because both classes have such small numbers, we look for ways to combine the two classes safely. These meetings will be every Tuesday for about 10-15 minutes. During these times we will take the time to learn different wellness techniques as well as building community. 

Today, we focused on taking deep belly breaths with an expandable ball. Ms. Ann taught us how to take a big deep breath in when we open the ball and exhale as they pushed the ball back together. Because it was the boys' first time, it took a few practice tries to get the hang of it.  






We will continue to visit with Ms. Ann every Tuesday learning new strategies on how to take care of ourselves as well as each other. Three important rules we follow every time are: 
no hurts, stick together, and most importantly, have fun! It is important for us to continue to find ways to build our classroom community and family. I am looking forward to growing all together this school year!

Happy Wednesday

 How lucky are we that it was nice weather which allowed for much needed outside time!

Happy New Year!

 Hello Pine AM friends! It is so nice to see you guys again after 20 days! I hope everyone enjoyed the time off and maybe even a little fun in the snow. Today we only had 2 kiddos come to school which felt so strange but we made the best of it. We will be ready to fully jump back in the swing of things next week with new words IN and OUT, exploring our expanded Bakery and Cafe in our dramatic play area, reading stories about winter and hands on experiences with things that are cold.
