Week 26

-
Hello Families! 
It's been a fun week! We had lots of fun wrapping up our study on feelings and emotions! Everyone enjoyed pajama day and watching our movie! We have really been working on having the student name the emotion they are feeling, then talking to them about why they are feeling that way and what to do with that emotion. If you think of it at home, it's a great practice to help them learn to regulate their emotions :)

Next week we will start a study on animals. This study will be more student directed! On Monday and Tuesday we are going to see what kinds of animals the students are interested in and go from there! It's going to be lot's of fun seeing what they want :) 
Things to Know:

Seussical 
Next weekend (March 6 and 7) is Holland Christian Middle School's musical Seussical! There is a 2:00pm showing on March 7 if you're interested in going, but don't want to mess with your student's bed time :)  

 Spring Break Dates
Our next break will be spring break! Just a reminder that the dates we are off are April 6-10 (with class resuming April 13 and 14).

 Hello Families!  This week we had fun celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Maestra Fernandez's class! Throughout the year we will take a few opportunities to learn from our Spanish Immersion friends about some Latino culture and traditions!  We also went to the library for the first time this week! We talked about how we will let the kids borrow a book this week, and then they can bring it back and get a new one! There is a blue bin on the little table outside of my classroom labeled "library books". You may put your library books in there at any time! There is a limit of 6 books out at one time. If you have 6 out at once I will print out a list of the books you have at your house and send it home with your student so you know which books you're looking for.  Next week we will see you at Post Family Farm on Monday! We will also have our preschool Walk-a-thon on Thursday!  Things to Know: Post Family Farms is on MONDAY . Remember, we are meeting at the farm...
