Thinking Thoughts and Feeling Feelings!

We worked on numbers using our number rhymes. Using mini whiteboards and signing our number poem, we wrote different numbers. We learned that when writing or creating numbers, we always start at the top. Please find our number poems below. We then used different resources around the classroom to create and represent each number.  

Being inspired by The Family Book by Todd Parr, we used our visual journals to draw our own families and shared how many members were in our families by writing the number as well. 

This week we worked with our Speech Language Pathologist to focus on our next book in the Incredible Flexible You series where we focussed on Thinking Thoughts and Feeling Feelings.  We worked together to brainstorm ideas and used our thinking brains to put ideas together. We learned why it is important to think about others, play with each other and have friendships. These things are all about thoughts; knowing our own, sharing them with others and taking others’ thoughts into account as we act and react. 

AM students continued working on their understanding of feelings and emotion regulation by reading the pop-up book, The Colour Monster"! Students loved learning about different colour monsters and their feelings and were challenged to make their own monsters as well.
