Next weeks focus: 5 Steps to Big Feelings
Chill Skill®️: The Chill Check
Being the Boss of Big Feelings!
Next week, our students are mastering The Chill Check. We’re learning that when a "big wave" of emotion hits, we don’t have to get swept away! We’re practicing our 5-step roadmap:
1️⃣ Check Body Clues 🔍
2️⃣ Name the Emotion 🏷️
3️⃣ Hit the Big Feelings Button™ 🔴
4️⃣ Pick a Chill Skill 🛠️
5️⃣ Recheck our number! 📉
We’re so proud of how our kiddos are becoming their own "body clue detectives."

Yesterday was center-wide Hat Day here at C&M play studio, and our kiddos absolutely rocked their headwear! From cool baseball caps and cozy beanies to sharks, minions, and cowboy hats, everyone brought their favorite style to show off. 🧢👒🎩
Whether we were learning inside, playing hard, or enjoying snack time, our classrooms were filled with a colorful sea of cool caps. We love seeing our little ones' unique personalities shine through on spirit days!
Thank you so much to all our teachers and families for participating and helping make the day so much fun for the kids!

June is for Joy and Growth! ☀️
Our new Cai’s Kind Words affirmation calendar is here!
Every morning at C&M, we start our day by speaking confidence into a mirror in the lobby. These daily affirmations are a huge part of how we teach our students that they are capable, loved, and heard.
Check out what we’re practicing this month and try saying these with your little ones on the way to school in the morning! There is so much power in these small words. ❤️

Next week's video focus: Excited
Chill Skill®️: Hands on hips, quiet lips 🤫
Our kiddos are always full of energy, and next week we are leaning into the emotion of Excited! We love celebrating those "big joy" moments, but we also know that big excitement needs a little focus.
We’ll be practicing how to carry that energy through the halls while keeping our bodies calm and our minds focused. It’s the perfect way to stay respectful of our friends' learning time while still feeling that spirit!
