Another Week with Seuss!

We enjoyed some more Seuss books this week, including "Green Eggs with Ham", a "Wocket in my Pocket", "One Fish, Two Fish" and "McElligot's Pool". After reading these books, we are pretty good at rhyming words! Here is some of our Seuss artwork...

We had so much fun with hat day and glow stick reading on Friday...

We also used our glow sticks at Center Time...

Next week we will begin a big zoo animal unit! 

Yesterday (Thursday) we had a substitute teacher for the entire day while I attended a district training. 
In our Social Skills lessons we talked about "worry". We brainstormed different coping skills that can help us when we feel worried or anxious, including deep breathing, positive self talk, expressing our feelings and getting adult help. Sometimes children feel anxious or worried, but their behavior is displayed in a way that looks aggressive or disruptive. Building skills to calm down when worried can help students cope with school and personal stresses in a more positive way. 
Next Wednesday, March 16, is our Parent Support Group Meeting - 6:00 in our classroom.
