Hello Parents,

Today we worked on a collaborative spring flower project made from egg cartons to create hanging strings of color for our classroom.  Creating art work from recycled materials is a great way to remember to think outside the box and find new uses for things.  It helps us be mindful of our materials and the health of our planet.  This project is also meant to help us remember that we all must  work together to create a beautiful shared space!  We will continue to point this project out in the classroom and talk about it.  The hope is that it will become a visual reminder of the importance of everyone’s contribution in our classroom as our friends look at it every day!

Ms. Tami brought in some new mindfulness tools. One of them is a finger labyrinth. This tool looks like a maze, but it has a start and allows the user to move their finger along the path to the center without obstructions. As your child “walks” through the labyrinth, it gives them the opportunity to practice their breathing skills while bringing their mind to the task of working through the channels. This is a great tool for calming the mind and body.
