THE FOUR PILLARS OF WELL-BEING-

PRACTICING MINDFULNESS-SPREADING KINDNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY

THIS WEEK WE DELVED INTO THE COMMUNITY PILLAR OF WELL-BEING. WE DISCUSSED HOW WE ARE ALL PART OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND IT IS WITHIN THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT EACH PERSON PLAYS A ROLE, WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WHOLE.

TEACHER SARAH SHARED THE SUPER SIMPLE SONGS VIDEO, THE MORE WE GET TOGETHER, WHICH PROMOTES KINDNESS, EMPATHY, COMMUNITY, AND TEAMWORK.

WE ENDED OUR PRACTICE WITH SOME MINDFUL BREATHING INSPIRED BY THE LETTER "G." FRIENDS TRACED THE LETTER "G" IN THE AIR AS THEY INHALED AND EXHALED.

THE YELLOW ROOMERS PRACTICED TEAMWORK WITH THEIR CLASSMATES AS THEY EACH TOOK TURNS STACKING COLORED STONES.

EVEN THOUGH THEIR TOWER TOPPLED, IT WAS THE PROCESS OF WORKING TOGETHER THAT REALLY MATTERED IN THE END.

WE CELEBRATED OUR CLASSROOM COMMUNITY AS WE STOOD HAND-IN-HAND ON THE RUG AND GAVE OURSELVES A BIG CHEER!

P.E WITH COACH JEREMY

IN P.E. CLASS THIS WEEK, COACH JEREMY TAUGHT US A NEW GAME CALLED COYOTES AND SQUIRRELS.

THE OBJECT OF THE GAME WAS FOR THE SQUIRRELS TO TRY AND GRAB THEIR ACORNS AND SAFELY RETURN THEM TO THEIR HOME LOCATED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEADOW. SOUNDS SIMPLE, RIGHT? NOT SO FAST, THE SQUIRRELS HAD TO CONTEND WITH FOUR COYOTES ARMED WITH POOL NOODLES AND SAFELY RETURN TO THEIR HOME WITH THEIR ACORNS.

IF THEY GOT TAGGED, THEY HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK! FRIENDS SHOWED OFF THEIR AGILITY, SPEED, AND STRATEGY AS THEY DODGED THE COYOTES AND ACQUIRED THEIR NUTS!

LETTER OF THE WEEK: G

INDOOR LEARNING AND PLAY CENTERS

THIS WEEK, THE YELLOW ROOMERS CONTINUED PRACTICING THEIR LETTER AND COLOR RECOGNITION, WHILE STRENGTHENING THEIR FINE MOTOR SKILLS IN THEIR WORKBOOKS.

WE ALSO CELEBRATED OUR LETTER OF THE WEEK, "G", BY DECORATING OUR LETTER FOR THE ALPHABET BOARD WITH LOTS OF IMAGES OF "G" WORDS.

FRIENDS USED LETTER BUILDERS TO REVIEW LETTERS A-G AND TO CREATE SOME WORDS!

FRIENDS ALSO UTILIZED THEIR FINE MOTOR SKILLS AS THEY USED SCISSORS TO PRACTICE CUTTING STRAIGHT LINES. ONE-TO ONE CORRESPONDENCE AND COUNTING, ALONG WITH SHAPE RECOGNITION WERE ALSO POPULAR ACTIVITIES AT OUR LEARNING CENTERS THIS WEEK!

OUT DOOR PLAY

THE YELLOW ROOMERS ENJOYED THE AUTUMN WEATHER AS THEY FROLICKED IN THE SUNSHINE!

MUSIC CLASS WITH TEACHER LAUREN

THE YELLOW ROOMERS SHOOK THEIR TAMBOURINES AND KEPT THE BEAT WHILE THEY STOMPED LIKE DINOSAURS TO THE TUNE OF WE ARE DINOSAURS! THEY ALSO CAME UP WITH VARIOUS RHYTHMIC WAYS TO BEAT THEIR DRUMSTICKS ON THE RUG.

IT WAS TYLER'S TURN AS FRIEND OF THE WEEK! HIS AMAZING POSTER SHOWED OFF HIS LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY AND ALL OF THE ADVENTURES THEY SHARED! TYLER FIELDED QUESTIONS FROM HIS CLASSMATES AND GAVE AN AWESOME PRESENTATION DETAILING EACH PHOTO!

TYLER ALSO SHARED SOME FAVORITE ITEMS WITH HIS CLASSMATES.

ON MONDAY, HE BROUGHT AN OOGIE BOOGIE FIGURE FROM THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS WHICH HAD A SECRET REAR COMPARTMENT FILLED WITH CANDY!

TYLER'S TUESDAY ITEM WAS AN INFLATABLE XMAS MICKEY MOUSE. TYLER FIRST FILLED IT UP WITH AIR AND THEN DEMONSTRATED HOW TO DEFLATE IT.

ON WEDNESDAY, TYLER SHARED A KING KONG FIGURE WITH HIS FRIENDS!

FRIEND OF THE WEEK: TYLER

TYLER AND HIS MOMMY, JAMIE, LED A FUN-FILLED ACTIVITY WITH THE YELLOW ROOMERS ON THURSDAY! THE CHILDREN WERE INVITED TO CREATE AND DESIGN THEIR OWN PUPPETS, USING AN ARRAY OF GOOGLY EYES, POMPOMS, AND COLORFUL FELT PIECES IN THE SHAPE OF EARS, TAILS, WINGS, AND HORNS!

JAMIE READ TWO BOOKS (CHOSEN BY TYLER) TO INSPIRE THE CHILDREN AS THEY PREPARED TO PERFORM A PUPPET SHOW WITH THEIR NEWLY DECORATED PUPPETS. THE BOOKS WERE GRUMPY MONKEY: ARE WE THERE YET? BY SUZANNE LANG AND MATTIE'S TWIRLY WHIRLY TAIL BY WENDY RAVENHILL AND LIZZIE WALKLEY.

THE MOMENT FINALLY ARRIVED FOR THE PUPPET SHOW TO BEGIN! TYLER PAIRED UP HIS CLASSMATES, AND EACH PAIR PERFORMED AN "ON THE SPOT" SHORT PUPPET SHOW FOR THEIR CLASSMATES! THEY ALL DID A GREAT JOB AND HAD LOTS OF FUN!

COURTESY OF JAMIE, TYLER'S ACTIVITY ENDED WITH A YUMMY TREAT FOR EVERYONE.

SPECIAL THANKS TO JAMIE AND TYLER FOR SUCH AN AMAZING AND ENTERTAINING ACTIVITY!

SPANISH CLASS WITH TEACHER LEIDY

THE YELLOW ROOMERS CONTINUE TO EXPRESS THEIR ENTHUSIASM FOR SPANISH CLASS WITH TEACHER LEIDY!

THIS WEEK, THEY CONTINUED TO PRACTICE THE SONGS, LOS POLLITOS DICEN AS WELL AS SACO UNA MANITO.

THE CHILDREN PROUDLY SHOWED OFF THEIR SKILLS AS THEY POINTED TO THEIR MANO (HAND), CABEZA (HEAD), AND NARIZ (NOSE).

TEACHER LEIDY ALSO INTRODUCED THE WORDS (IN SPANISH) FOR THE COLORS... RED (ROJO) AND BLUE (AZUL) AS WELL AS THE WORDS FOR TEACHER (MAESTRA) AND STUDENT (ESTUDANTE).

ART

WITH TEACHER MATT

THIS WEEK IN ART CLASS, OUR FRIENDS PAINTED A VARIETY OF ITEMS THEY FOUND IN NATURE. LEAVES, TREE BARK, AND PINE CONES WERE BOTH PAINTED AND USED AS PAINT BRUSHES! SOME FRIENDS CHOSE TO DIP AND ROLL PINE CONES INTO A TRIAD OF COLORS THAT THEY MIXED TOGETHER TO SPREAD ACROSS THEIR MINI CANVASES.

GUEST LIBRARY READER: LAUREN DELGADO

THIS WEEK'S LIBRARY READER WAS EZRA'S MOMMY, LAUREN. SHE READ THE BOOK, LITTLE BLUE TRUCK MAKES A FRIEND BY ALICE SCHERTLE, AND TWO ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE STORIES BY MO WILLEMS! EZRA DID A GREAT JOB CHOOSING SOME BOOKS THAT THE YELLOW ROOMERS REALLY ENJOYED! THANKS LAUREN!!

IN HONOR OF NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, WE READ CAROL LINDSTROM'S BOOK, WE ARE WATER PROTECTORS, WHICH WAS BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED BY MICHAELA GOADE.

THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN RESPONSE TO THE DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE PROTESTS OF 2020, AND TELLS THE STORY OF AN OJIBWE GIRL WHO FOUGHT AGAINST AN OIL PIPELINE IN AN EFFORT TO PROTECT THE WATER SUPPLY OF HER PEOPLE.
