We painted big ducks on Monday and created bunnies on Tuesday. We read several stories about ducks and rabbits.
On Wednesday we tried a directed drawing challenge to create some bunny faces of our own...the class did a fantastic job of watching, listening and then following the steps.
All week long we worked on some specific coping skills, including size of the problem and taking a quiet break when we feel upset. We always praise students when they try to get calm, stay safe and get back in the green zone. Our work is a little more challenging this time of the year, so we also need to use coping skills when we feel frustrated. Asking for help, taking a break, and self talk are all good coping skills for work time frustration.
We continue to work on our whiteboards - look at this great sentence!
****Your child has brought home a field trip permission slip for our field trip to the WL Outdoor Education Center on April 30. They will need to bring a lunch/drink in a bag that day because we will eat our lunch at the Outdoor Center before returning to school. We are asking for $5.00 to offset the cost of the bus and trip - our Foundation for Excellence mini grant will cover the rest of the cost.
****We are joining with Miss Fifer's class to create a Breakfast themed basket for the Spring Fair on June 1. We would love any breakfast themed donations - due to us by May 10. Ideas include breakfast bars, pancake mix, jam, syrup, potholder, spatula, canned fruit, mixing bowl etc. Much thanks!
