We have been busy this week with some December and holiday stories and crafts. Our classroom looks cozy and bright!
We are learning a fun new poem...
We have really incorporated the "group plan" into so many parts of our day, with great success. The boys enjoy creating a group plan, along with pictures of expected behavior, and I notice that when they do they are much more successful. This would be a good thing to try at home, especially with extra holiday activities that are often challenging for our students.
We continue to take turns with being the morning greeter - many of the boys have added "compliments" to their friends during this time!
We added a new coping skill, "Move On" to our board. Many times children have difficulty "ending" a period of upset. "Move on" is a reminder that the problem is over, and we can get back in the green zone where we will feel much better (more comfortable). Staying upset is uncomfortable. This is something kids do for themselves - the focus is on helping them identify when they feel better.
We worked on another type of deep breathing with Miss Kelly.
***Our class will have an opportunity to go to the PTA Holiday Gift Shop on Tuesday, Dec. 10. A note was sent home on Tuesday about this. This is optional, but we are glad to take children down to shop if they wish.
***A paper copy of your child's report card will be sent home on Dec. 11. We have an early release 1/2 day on Dec. 12, and Parent Teacher Conferences are in the afternoon and evening of Dec. 12. I look forward to meeting with you all then!
