This week we read many different versions of "gingerbread stories" so that we could compare characters, problems and endings. We wrote about the gingerbread man in our journals. Here are some of the books we read and projects we created...
In our social skills lessons we talked about looking at faces to figure out how someone is feeling. Children who accurately identify emotions tend to be less aggressive. We practiced really noticing how someone's face looks as a clue to how they are feeling. We also introduced a new coping skill called MOVE ON. Children feel really proud when they are able to use a coping skill to get back in the green zone - "MOVE ON" helps us do that. We give a lot of praise when children are able to do this.
We were excited to see some snow on Thursday - we created some snow art and wrote about the snow in our journals.
Miss Marlowe helped us sing about hibernation and some of our coping skills. Ask your child to tell you about "Pickle Macaroni"!
We will have our Holiday Breakfast on Thursday, December 21 (our last day before break). We will cook and serve a pancake breakfast to our students - you may send them a little hungry that morning! This will also serve as our Holiday Party.
