Hello Early Learning Center Families,
What fun we have had over the past couple of weeks! Valentines, 100s day and 2-2 "Two'sday! Check out our Facebook page to see all of the fun!
Please keep in mind our safety practices at arrival and dismissal. We know the backup on Willow Street can be long, however we have an efficient system in place to keep our students safe. Please wait in the line and do not pull around to park. There is only one way for the buses and cars to exit. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us!!
This month we have been talking about Cooperation! Cooperation is about making sure we know how to be on a team or work in a group towards a common goal. Here is the definition we are using:
Cooperation: Working together and helping others.
We want young people to know how to work hard on their own. But, just as important, we want them to know what it looks like to be a part of a really supportive, helpful, empowering team. We will be thinking about the skills needed to work together well and how each of us contributes to a group in big and small ways. We will think about our strengths and our areas of growth. We will take part in fun challenges to put our teamwork to the test and grow, together, toward the common goal of a more helpful, kind, cooperative world!
Conversation Starters
- Sometimes you just feel like doing things all by yourself. What is something that someone can do to help you to get into the spirit of Cooperation?
- When we are working with others, it can be tough when a teammate is not cooperating. How do you deal with that frustration? What can you say to the teammate to tell them how you feel?
- Talk about a time when you worked on a really effective team. What were the ingredients? What did you contribute? How did they help you?
Have a great week!~Laurie
