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!

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 :)

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