Week 3
***Picture Day for BOTH schools are on September 6th.****
This week we will start our Frog Street Unit 1, which is called Awesome Me! Week 1 is all about "Physical Me", so we will be talking about different body parts and what makes us special.
Our Vocabulary this week: Awesome and magnificent.
Photo discussion cards: Head, hands, feet, reading.
For math we are starting to talk about attributes, or words that describe something or someone. I.e. a red crayon is different than the blue crayon, or a circle is different from a square. The little girl wearing a dress is wearing something different than the girl wearing shorts. One boy has a hat and another doesn't.
This unit introduces our first calm down strategy, S.T.A.R breathing. Which stands for Smile, Take a deep breath And Relax. This the first of five calming strategies that Frog Street teaches us to help with self regulation and control.
