What a fun week we have had!  I do believe we can probably say that every week! 😉 

We continued exploring SEL concepts this week by learning about the Zones of Regulation. We talked about how we all experience many different feelings, and this fun image helps us see how they can be grouped into different zones. All feelings are normal—it’s what we do with them that matters—and we are practicing strategies to help us return to the green zone.

We continued our social studies Civics lessons this week, focusing on treating others fairly, treating others equally, and being a good listener. These lessons help us learn what it means to be a responsible and caring member of our community.  

Our class began a new math unit called Counting Quantities, comparing lengths.  The focus is on counting and comparing quantities and beginning to explore measurement by directly comparing objects to see which is longer. 

Reminders:

**Please send in extra clothes for your child regularly, especially if they are having accidents at school.  Also, it would be really great to have some plastic bags donated for this reason. Thank you so much!**
