Do you wanna Build a Snowman ☃️?

Book of the Day: There was a Cold Lady who Swallowed some SNOW!!! By: Lucille Colandro

You have probably read, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly to your class. If you enjoyed that book, you will love this one and so will your students.

You won’t believe why this cold lady swallowed some snow, a pipe, some coal, a hat, a stick and a scarf!

She ended up thinking of an amazing plan and out came… a SNOWMAN ☃️

Our scholars got to pretend to be the Cold Lady/Guy and created some amazing snowmen of their own!

⏩⏩⏩Swipe to the end to see our Snowmies ☃️☃️☃️☃️!

💡Prior Knowledge - Before Reading:

❓Ask your scholars if they have ever eaten something strange by accident.
❓Show the cover of the book and have your scholars describe the cover and what the lady appears to be doing on the cover.
❓Once your scholars realize that it looks like the lady is swallowing snow, encourage them to think of reasons why she might be swallowing snow.

💡After Reading:

Something to think about???

1.) Do you think that a person could swallow snow, a pipe, coal, a hat, a stick, and a scarf in real-life or was the author using his imagination?
2.) What was your favorite part of the story?
3.) Who remembers why the old lady swallowed the pipe?

As a kid, my favorite part of decorating for Christmas was putting up the tree. So I can only imagine the joy my scholars got out of decorating our tree!!! I knew handing the reins over to my scholars would lead to an imperfect tree, but I was unprepared for their insistence on trying to cram all the ornaments onto a single branch. With some gentle encouragement, my scholars spaced out the ornaments a bit more along the bottom branches, and I put a few of the more ornaments towards the top of the tree, where they could not reach.

There is something about Christmas trees that captures the imagination of a child. A beautifully decorated and brightly lit tree can do wonders for a child’s spirit, not to mention an adult’s—especially after spending hours upon hours getting it just right, with arranging and re-re-rearranging the assorted ornaments and lighting to achieve just the right effect to everyone’s eventual delight. But to a child, a Christmas tree is much more than the accumulation of decorations and lights, tinsel and garland. For a child, a Christmas tree is a promise.

For a child, that feeling might be that of security, knowing that you are at home, surrounded by people who love you; or it can be that sense of expectation that something wonderful is about to happen but you can’t quite say what it is or understand it. But you know that whatever it is, it is something very special. You sense that you are about to enter a unique time of the year. And putting up that Christmas tree, whether it be the one from the woods or the artificial one from mall. Yes, with the years you may get older, but the days of Christmas never do.

Happy Holidays!

STARRY NIGHT SENSORY BAG ✨🌃🌌

Supplies:
Quart storage bags
Clear hair gel (16 oz)
Star-shaped confetti
Black construction paper

It’s a great fine motor skill challenge just to move the stars around in the bag. And of course they like just feeling the cool of the gel, and squishiness of the bag too!

Sensory play is a great way to engage your young scholar’s senses as their little brains and skills are developing. It allows them to tangibly interact with the world around them in a safe and stimulative manner. I personally love using sensory play to engage them in hands on learning, particularly when the real world focus of our study may be otherwise out of reach… just like the constellations!

Celebrating Native American culture and learning about Thanksgiving with this fun Native American Headband & learning about living in TeePees/Tents. This activity was bright, colorful and easy to make!

We also read a book called “The Littlest Pilgrim” by Brandi Dougherty.

Mini is the littlest Pilgrim in her village just like my little scholars. She's too little to sew and to bake, but she's not too little to make a friend just like they’ve all become in my class. This lively Thanksgiving story celebrates the gift of friendship. Full color. A Thanksgiving story celebrating the gift of friendship!

Mini is the littlest Pilgrim in her village.
Too little to sew.
Too little to bake.
Too little to fish.

But she's not too little to make a friend.

Kirsten Richards' adorable art brings to life this Pilgrim friendship tale; perfect for Thanksgiving, or anytime!

Welcome to our NEW Library and Tranquil Area!

What Are The Benefits To Having A Quiet Zone in the Classroom?

🕊The most obvious benefit of having a quiet zone is helping scholars learn to manage emotions. When scholars recognize something isn't right, they can comfort themselves using the quiet zone. Also, a quiet zone helps scholars control their behavior and emotions rather than acting out during class.

What is a quiet zone?

🕊This is an area in the classroom dedicated to providing a calming, quiet, distraction-free zone. Scholars can use the quiet zone to work, read, or think. It can be a place for students to get caught up on work, take a test, draw, calm down, manage emotions, or just to be alone. Ultimately, the idea is to provide an area where students can get their emotions in check and return to the classroom ready to work.

What Else Should Be In The Quiet Zone?

🕊You can provide basic supplies, like books, pencils, paper, coloring utensils, clipboard, etc. Stress-relieving tools like squishy balls, fidget toys, stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, yoga mats, and more. Additionally, to block out noise distraction, offer headphones, or noise-canceling headphones.

When Should A Scholar Go To The Quiet Zone?

🕊When a scholar: feels overwhelmed, seems distracted, has trouble with a classmate, feels upset, or just needs a quick break from work. The reasons are truly endless. Don’t we all need a short break from time to time?

***Its been updated a few times, to help fit the needs of my scholars.

You're never too young to thank a veteran. So today we’re spreading positivity to our community!

Our scholars learned all about the people who protect our nation and got the opportunity to show their appreciation this Veterans Day!

This week we will be mailing our pictures to our Local VA!

I come from a family and have friends to where many individuals have serviced our country so I feel it is so important to honor our veterans and teach kids about them. Our scholars believe that their teachers are soldiers but our veterans are the real soldiers!

Happy Veterans Day and thank you everyone for your service!

If no one tells you enough! We love you and appreciate all you’ve done and still doing! -Love

No Hugs 🚫🫂 by Deirdre A. Prischmann

Alice LOVES giving and receiving hugs, but Zara. . .well, not so much. Alice offers hugs repeatedly, but Zara refuses each time. This causes a rift in their friendship until the girls figure out a compromise.

This SEL book is a wonderful starting point for a discussion on consent, boundaries, personal space, friendship, and emotions. Children will want to look closely at the adorable artwork to determine how Alice and Zara are feeling. I highly recommend this book for school counselors, classrooms, libraries, and homes!

Our scholars learned that sometimes a High Five is all we need instead of Hugs. We really enjoyed roll playing the book.

Taste testing Apple flavored foods🍎🍏😋

• Apple Cinnamon Grain Bar
• Applesauce
• Apple Juice

Novembers our topic was Health and Wellness/ Nutrition.

Benefits of healthy eating in early childhood include optimal brain development, physical growth and early adoption of healthy eating habits. (and also build awareness on the value of nutritious foods)

You can help provide a healthy eating environment by:

~making mealtimes relaxed and comfortable
~sitting and eating with the children
~being positive about the healthy foods the children are eating
~encouraging fussy eaters to try new foods
~being a positive role model with the foods you eat, and
~teaching the children about healthy eating through discussions, questions, games and activities.
