Happy Friday!
Our MACK this week has focused of mindful strategies:
Children will practice mindfulness strategies to calm their minds, calm their bodies, and to increase their concentration and attention. Strategies can include visualization, breathing, and movement exercises.
In K/PREK1, we read ‘I Can Do It!’ which focuses on ways to handle different situations. For example, the main character in the story was frustrated with his younger sister and came up with ways to solve the problem.
We continued group by doing an activity that revolved around rhyming words and memory. Each member got two cards. A group of cards were placed in the middle of the circle and each friend got a turn to flip a card over, see if it was a match to either of their cards, and if not, they put the card back.
K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.
Children were offered an art opportunity this morning. Friends painted the bottom of muffin tins and created a paint print by pressing a piece of paper onto the painted muffin tins.
We hope you and your family have a fabulous weekend!
