NEW WORK STATIONS~
At Games Galore, children play "Connect Four" with the color words.
At the Writing Station, children illustrate their page of our class book, inspired by our reading of the book, The Day Crayons Quit.
FREE CHOICE LEARNING~
Following are new activities available during Free Choice time.....
At the Sensory Tub, children use a slotted spoon to find plastic spiders hidden in rice. Children must shake the rice from the spoon and then put the spider into a bucket.
Also at the Fine Motor Station, children can exercise their cutting skills by snipping a piece of yarn. This was a popular activity!
PEACE ROSE~
Today we read the story, The Peace Rose, which explains how children use a rose to resolve a conflict they are having. We will have peace roses available in our classroom which we will encourage the children to use if/when they are experiencing a conflict with a classmate. By using the peace rose, children will gain experience in how to verbally express their feelings and frustrations to resolve a conflict. We explained to the children that if a classmate is hurt (physically or emotionally), then a teacher should be informed, rather than using the peace rose.
