Group Meeting: We started our day by talking about the Thanksgiving Break. The children shared stories about going to relative's homes or staying home with their family. It sounds like everyone had a good time with good food to eat.
Story: The story for today was Dakota, the Therapy Dog by Lara Clear. Dakota, the dog, is going to school. He wonders what school will be like. Will the children like him? Will the children be nice? Dakota finds that school is a nice place where friends play together. I read this story today because Scout, our therapy dog, will be coming to school this week. We will slowly introduce her to the children. The children will learn how to approach a dog, how to let the dog sniff first, and how to give gentle pets. Later in the month, Scout will be joining us for story time and play time.
Gift of Kindness: We will be counting down the days until Spring Break by opening a Gift of Kindness each day. Please read the note in your child's folder that came home today. The gift for the children to give today was a smile. We encouraged the children to smile at their classmates and teachers throughout the day to help everyone feel welcome.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was B.
Gross Motor: The children played "Kindness Musical Chairs". The variation in this game is that when a child does not have a chair, he or she shares with another child. By the end of the game, many children are sharing the same chair.
Snack: The snack for today was bagels, cream cheese, juice and water.
