We jumped back into our last week of November with "Manners week". We read Please, Mr. Panda and made panda faces. We also read Llama Llama Time to Share and Just Be Nice (Whinnie the Pooh). Everyone practiced the words "please" and "thank you" in American sign language. We also played an egg shaker game using our polite words. We worked with scissors and cut out snowflakes for our classroom windows and painted at the easel too.
On Tuesday, we took a walk outside to feel the cold winter air and explore the little bit of snow on the ground. This also gave everyone practice with putting on and taking off their coats. We are practicing this self-help skill daily in our class. **Please support your child's independence by encouraging them to try to dress themselves as often as possible. It definitely takes longer, but the more practice they get, the easier these skills become.
On Thursday, we had Stretch & Grow with Coach Natalie! The class went on a camping adventure which involved working out with some "strength snakes" (resistance bands) and running/skipping/crawling through the forest.
A reminder to please send in donation items next week if you can :) Thanks!
