LAST MONTH…
In November we talked about what it means to be thankful and shared some things we are thankful for. We made coffee filter turkeys, fall collage, fall leaves and handprint turkeys. We painted with potato mashers, berry baskets, tubes, toothbrushes and our hands.
We scooped and poured cinnamon oats at the sensory table and squeezed and molded pumpkin pie spice scented playdough.
Over the last few months we have been talking about “filling the bucket”. We began by reading “How Full Is Your Bucket” by Tom Rath and Mary Reckmeyer which is an introduction to emotions. The story revolves around the concept that we all have invisible buckets. When our bucket is full we are happy, filled up, content. When our bucket is empty we are indeed empty. This book is our introduction to a variety of feelings both happy and strong. We’ve begun to explore a variety of feelings and learn that our actions impact those around us, that we have the power to both fill up and dip into others buckets. We will continue exploring this concept by playing games, continuing to discuss various types of emotions and ways we can help regulate our emotions to ensure we keep our buckets and the buckets of others as full as possible.
This month we’ll learn new holiday songs and learn all about Hanukkah and Christmas. If your family has a holiday custom or tradition you’d like to share with our class please let us know.
