Good Afternoon!
For the last several weeks, we’ve been focused on emotions: our own emotions as well as the emotions of others. In both groups, we’ve been reading stories and exploring the emotions that characters exhibit.
Being able to identify feelings and emotions within ourselves can be challenging in the heat of the moment. Talking through problems, modeling the words needed to explain emotions, and being understanding/calm can help in situations where emotions are strong.
Below is an article that gives examples of how to talk to children about their emotions and how to assist them in the process of identifying their feelings.
Breakfast– Kix and fresh blueberries.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken and cheese, fresh watermelon, and fresh green beans/cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Whole grain crackers and peanuts.
Wee Sprout– Fresh green beans/cherry tomatoes.
Have a fantastic evening!
