and we think our hand print cardinals look pretty special too....
On Thursday we made some awesome snow plows with snow on them...
and on Friday we completed page 80 in our tens book.
In our social skills lessons, we talked about how our feelings sometimes affect our behavior. We learned that sometimes we have physical clues, such as a fast heartbeat, feeling hot, or having a stomachache when we have strong feelings. Sometimes we just know we are "upset" but we don't know why or how - taking a break, accepting help and using a coping skill gives us time to calm down and think about why we are upset. We practiced giving ourselves a "stop" signal to interrupt the escalation of emotion, and naming our feeling, which can engage the thinking part of the brain. We will continue to practice this new skill in the upcoming weeks. This is a challenging skill...with practice, your child will be able to do this more frequently.
Please remember to send in a short letter to your child - this is for our letter writing unit and will be placed in our class mailbox. Please send in the letters (in your child's folder) by January 25. Thank you!
