In kindergarten, we learn a lot about our emotions and how our emotions affect our actions and behavior. We talk about how being calm, both mentally and physically, helps us focus on learning. We have been practicing guided relaxation, and the kids are even starting to use the strategies we've learned independently when they feel the need to get back to calm and focused.
As we are delving into our new reading unit, we have just begun using Book Boxes! Children are starting to read and be responsible for books appropriate to their own individual reading levels. It is amazing to see the reading they are doing independently now, and they are very excited to "shop" for books to keep in their book boxes.
