Welcome to the first Preschool Highlights Newsletter! We had busy week with learning our school norms, classroom rules, how to be a friend and completed our first fire drill.
The Safe School Climate Committee works to keep the school a happy, safe, and healthy place for the entire community. We say and do these norms each day to remind each other how we can stay safe in school. Our noms are... be here, be safe, be honest, care for self and others and to let go and move on. To branch off of our school norms are classroom rules that we follow to insure safety and fun! All week long we've been working hard on learning the rules and how to be a good friend in the process. Another great thing this week was our first ever fire drill. We read a social story about why and what to do during a school fire drill. We got outside safely to our meeting spot and waited for the okay to return to the classroom.
We made paper salad by exploring all the art materials. The students used their find motor skills by using scissors to cut the paper. Some students glued the paper together to make "lumps" in our paper salad. This activity supported the CT ELDS for social skills, fine motor skills, and creative arts skills.
