Conscious Discipline
Connection: Research shows that our connections with other people develop neural connections inside our brain. The neural connections of the brain are essential to learning. In our schools, we develop these connections by building a compassionate group of learners called a "School Family". This connection provides the internal motivation to cooperate, extend helpfulness to others and learn new social skills. In our School Family, this connection motivation replaces the need for external rewards like stickers and other treats.
Each year brings wonderful new opportunities for our children to grow and learn, and Conscious Discipline provides us with proven ways to increase every child's learning potential.
Literacy Events
Be sure to join us if you can make it as well as take part in some fun videos, activities and books to read that we will send home from these events.
Produce of the Month
Ms. Produce will be introducing Apples as the produce for the month by sharing a book, dressing in apple costume wear and serving apples at breakfast or lunch each week this month.
Why Apples?
Apples are low in sodium, fat and cholesterol but rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals
Scientists have linked apples to improved heart health, gut health and weight loss
Hoping Your Child Has Fun Trying Some Apples This Month!
Last Month was “zucchini” in case you were wondering why your child may have been talking about it lately.
Taking Turns
Taking turns is an important part of communication development for young children. This month at the Child Development Centers, we will be focusing on helping our children to develop this all important skill.
For more information about how to develop "turn taking" with your child, consider reading this article from Michigan State University.
