We spent time this week talking about how each family is unique! Children shared about their favourite things to do with their family and drew pictures of what each family member looks like. Our expertise with drawing shapes helped us to progress beyond drawing stick people! Yaaaay!!!
One of the most important skills we practice in kindergarten is self-regulation. We spend a lot of time talking about how to be conscious of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. When we're able to identify how we are feeling, we can use strategies to help us work through them. We read a beautiful story called My Magic Breath that taught us about the power of breathing to help us feel calm. Children created their own magic breath paintings and shared about how their breath can help them when they're feeling upset.
"My magic breath helps me to feel like I'm relaxing." Alice
"My magic breath helps me to feel calm." Maddie
"My magic breath helps me to blow away all the bad feelings." Magnus
