Weekly Update
Week 0 - Before School Begins! August 3-7, 2026
Hello TK Families!
TK Welcome Tea Event:
Save the Date Friday, August 7, 2026, 9:45 am – 10:30 am
It is an AEA tradition to have a TK/ Kinder Tea on the Friday prior to the start of school. This is an opportunity for our newest Einstein students to learn a German song, meet their teachers, see their classrooms, and receive their special Schultüte. This year, due to ongoing construction and less space, we will stagger the classes into two groups and start our event in our new MPR before moving to the classrooms, and then ending on the playground area.
Please note the start times below:
FYI -- Kindergarten will be held at 9:00, before TK.
9:45 TK Welcome Tea
*Your TK student’s class placement will be emailed to you the week of August 3rd for your planning purposes.
IF you don't receive an email, please contact the front office staff or email "Support@aeacs.org" for help.
We look forward to meeting you and beginning our journey together! It's going to be a wonderful year!!
Remember, School Begins on August 10th and campus opens for breakfast at 7:45am, students not eating breakfast are welcome on campus at 7:50am. First Day Only - grown ups may help walk their child to their line up area shared at TK Tea.

Zones of Regulation:
We use colors to help describe our feelings and emotions. See these resources to help understand what we are sharing in class so that you can support at home, as well.
Green Zone - All is as it should be. Happy, calm, peaceful, patient, flexible, ready to learn
Yellow Zone - Can be positive or negative, excited or anxious. Frustrated, Anxious, Excited, Silly These emotions are opposites of the same coin. We can move through the yellow zone and get back to green or help ourselves feel more positive about the energy we are feeling. Naming the emotions we are feeling helps us understand ourselves and have better control over our actions.
Blue Zone - Slow, tired, or sad. When we feel this way, we may have physical reasons, like we did not sleep well, or it may have been an interaction with a friend or family member that left us sad. Sometimes, though, we all just feel a little blue and that is ok. Feelings come and go, they don't stay too long and we can stay calm until our feelings change and we feel ready to be back in the green zone.
Red Zone - Angry feelings or out of control, when we are mad we need a break. We want our friends and family to feel safe aroud us and taking a walk, listening to music, reading a book, or squeezing a pillow, stomping my feet, or have a cry may be what we need to help get back to the green zone. Talking with a friend or adult when we feel calmer can help, too. This is hopefully not a frequent zone, but everyone does get mad and upset from time to time. This is normal and together, we can work through the red zone.
