Culture of Kindness

February 21, 2016 By Blair Yohannan

Letters in the sandWhat a short week we had at Children’s House! Between the observance of President’s Day and the inclement weather, our week was greatly shortened. Even with the reduced time in the classroom, everyone w as busy at work receiving new lessons, finishing math booklets, and completing journal entries.

The progress the teachers are seeing in the students in all areas of their development is truly exciting with many months still left in the school year.Pink Tower

This week during circle time we were all reminded of the culture of kindness we stress in our classroom. We discussed kind words we should use versus unkind we could say to each other. After reading a few books which illustrate disagreements between friends and possible situations students could find themselves in, we role-played situations where we could make kind choices in regards to relationships between friends. Our hope is that these exercises assist the students in their interactions between friends in the classroom.

100th Day Fun

February 7, 2016 By Blair Yohannan

 

100th Day FunThis week brought us the 100th day of school! The students have been bringing in their 100th day projects for the past couple of weeks, and then we celebrated the big day on Monday! Everyone’s projects were so creative and original! We saw everything from 100 chocolate chips, goldfish, stickers, and photographs to 100 feathers made into a snowy owl, and a snowman and Ra100 Days of Schoolpunzel’s castle made out of straws!

 

 

The children loved exploring their peers’ projects in the museum. Thank you so much for assisting your children in this project. The children had fun stringing 100 fruit loops onto a necklace, making 100th day hats, counting 10 groups of 10 snacks to make a bag of 100 snacks, and more activities that filled our day quickly! It’s hard to believe we have already been in school for 100 days!

100th Day hatIn circle time this week we also presented our 100th day projects and sang a fun 100th day song with, you guessed it, 100 words! As circle is a time for group discussion, the students shared some of the ways we can stay healthy during the cold, winter season. We discussed the importance of washing our hands, and covering our faces when we sneeze or cough to prevent the spread of germs. We also said that wearing warm clothing, drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods would help us to prevent sickness!
