Hello Everyone,
This week the students continued learning about the different Zones as part of the Zones of Regulation curriculum. Our focus was on the Green Zone, which represents feeling calm, happy, focused, and ready to learn. The children practiced recognizing when they are in the Green Zone and learned strategies to help themselves stay there.
You can support this at home by pointing out times when your child seems calm and focused, and naming it as the Green Zone. You might say, “I notice you’re calm and ready to play, looks like you’re in the Green Zone!” This helps your child build awareness of their feelings and connect language to their experiences.
As the fall season has officially begun, we are excited to announce our plans for the Fall Fest this year. Instead of a whole-school event, each classroom will host its own Fall Fest day. Family members will be invited in to participate in fall-themed activities alongside their child. Fall Fest days will take place during the week of October 14–17. Please refer to your child’s individual teacher newsletter or weekly update for the specific date and time for your classroom celebration.
With the recent rainy days, we’ve been making the most of our time in the gym for indoor recess. The children had a wonderful time riding in the little coupe cars and building with the giant magnetic tiles and big blue blocks. These activities provided plenty of opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and gross motor play.
Take Care,
Amanda
