9/20 Classroom Update

This week, we learned all about feelings! We discussed how our faces look, our bodies feel, and things that cause certain feelings. We also talked about how it is normal to have all sorts of feelings and learned some strategies to calm our bodies down and problem solve when we are feeling mad or sad. We are also working on being able to identify how other people are feeling by looking for clues with their faces and bodies. Here are some picture highlights from our week in preschool:

We read the book "Glad Monster, Sad Monster" and made our own monsters!

We learned about different feelings and how to tell how someone is feeling based on their face/body. We sorted pictures of people based on how they were feeling. 

Decorating our monsters and deciding how they were feeling! 

Our finished monsters are on display in the hallway! 

After reading "Glad Monster, Sad Monster," we painted our own monsters and 

We played Feelings Memory and had to decide how the animals were feeling and if they were the same/different. 

Finishing up our monsters!

At the playdough center, we built different feelings on faces!

 

We enjoyed a birthday treat outside on Thursday!

Next week, we will begin learning about seasons with a focus on fall and learn all about the letter L!
