Kindness and considering myriad emotions

Today we introduced emotions cards and a few new books about emotions into the classroom. Friends at the snack table enjoyed chatting and considering the various emotions featured on our emotions cards. We had thoughts on sad, happy, proud, cranky, nervous, scared, energetic, calm, brave, and many others. We considered how we might help each other if we see a friend feeling sad or lonely or scared. We thought about what helps us feel calm and comfortable and what makes us happy and excited.

At circle time, Vivian read to us our new book, The Color Monster: A Story About Emotions, by Anna Llenas. 

We also had a great time working through shapes, numbers, and letter puzzles as well as creating our own shapes and patterns with the geo boards. 

And we got really wet in the puddles and rain outside!
