We hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving with family and friends. We have been spoiled by the summer-like weather over the past 2 days. The kids have had a blast digging in the sand and building castles! Let's hope it stays a little while longer!
Today, we read a book about friendship and decided to paint portraits of our classmates. They turned out absolutely adorable! We have been talking about the different zones of regulation and our feelings. This is very useful when the students are faced with conflicts between peers. We are talking about using our words instead of hands and sharing our feelings when someone does something that makes us feel sad or angry etc.
This afternoon, we were invited to a presentation by Earth Rangers where the children got to learn about different animals. They brought live animals such as an owl, skunk and turtle for the kids to see. The students had a blast!
We have been looking at numbers and letters in our learning environments and continue to practise letter sounds through songs and games. Please continue to review letters and numbers at home, Keep it simple and fun! We will be starting our letter and word of the week over the next few weeks so be sure to check the blog each week.
A big thank you to all the volunteers who signed up for our Playdoh Club. A schedule and recipe was sent home today in your child's mailbag. A separate blog post will be added with the schedule and recipe for easy access.
Here are some pictures from today:
