Today in Kindergarten...



  • AM and PM Kinders learned about the OWL & the GUARD DOG for Mindful Monday (feel free to watch the video with your child to further discussion). We talked about how we can sometimes feel when we don't understand something or when something is making us upset....sometimes we freeze, feel really nervous and/or we just give up. We learned about what the brain does during these times and a simple way to calm ourselves down and get our brains focusing again. 
  • AM and PM Kinders discussed different ways that we can learn best with concrete examples  from within our own classroom (e.g., calming music, useful visuals, whole body listening, sharing ideas, using a chunky pencil to write with, having movement breaks/stretching, tracing over highlighted lines, eating healthy food at snack time, etc.).
  • AM Kinders had gym today. They are continuing to practice their basketball skills. 
  • PM Kinders explored 3 part patterns. Ask me to show you a 3 part movement pattern! 
  • PM Kinders were read the book Mmmmmmm, Cookies! By Robert Munsch
