Dear Mom and Dad:

Highlights of the Week:

- Practicing our Christmas Concert Songs with Mrs. McBride. Our Christmas Concert is on Monday December 5 @ 6:00pm at Cranston School
- Todd Parr Portraits
- Zones of Regulation
- 5 senses
- Roots of Empathy Babies

This week we have been talking about what feelings are and how this affects us. I learned that feelings live in my heart and it sends a message to my brain that tells me what I am feeling. We will be learning about the "Zones of Regulation". There are four different zones that I could be in. We learned that it is okay to be in any of the zones. We will be looking at the different "tools" we can use to help us move from one zone to the other and get back to green zone!

Ask me to tell you about the author Todd Parr. We have been reading his books and creating art inspired by his drawings. Ask me to describe his art.

Did you know we all have 5 senses? This week we explored these 5 senses using popcorn! Ask me to tell you about this science experiment and what I noticed.

We met our baby teacher this week! Ask me to tell you their name and what I observed!

PM kindergarten had our second session of Friday Clubs! Ask me to tell you what club I am in! (AM kindergarten will participate in clubs later in the year)

Question of the week: what are your 5 senses?

Love,

Kindergarten
