We are all Unique!

We talked a lot this week about what we look like, what foxes look like, how we might hear differently than others (Like our Kangaroo friends), and how we are alike or not. We discovered that we have many things in common, like the parts of our bodies, we ALL love playing in the classroom and in the big room! We also talked about how foxes all look different around the world and how they also like and dislike many things just like people!

Next week we will dive into talking about the importance of our skin and how we all have similarities and differences in that as well! Books we will read include: Little Humans, Happy in Our Skin, I Like Myself, Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth & The Things I Love About Me.

For centers we drew pictures of ourselves with our friends, we painted and decorated fox plates and coloring pages:

We have been working on helping the class name their feelings and teaching them some strategies they can use when they are upset/frustrated. At circle time, we always work on a breathing activity (Drain, STAR, Pretzel, and Ballon) to help their bodies get ready to learn.

We have a calm down chair (NOT a timeout area) with fidget toys and hugging stuffed animals for any student to use throughout the day when they want a break or to cool down or just be alone for a while.

We hand one on one time with Miss Fay to help us write our names the kindergarten way. i.e. with only one capital letter:

Play time fun:

And finally we had a blast playing in the gym and outside:

Next week: All about me

Have a wonderful weekend!
