2's - Morah Mimi

What a busy and joyful week we've had! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we've been talking about what it means to be thankful, sharing the people, pets, and things we love and are grateful for. We've also been practicing the songs we'll sing on stage, and the children are doing a wonderful job. Keep an ear out at home, since you might hear some singing, and we can't wait for you to see them perform! 

We continue to practice our zones by naming our feelings and matching them to a color. The red zone is when we're upset and need to calm our bodies, the blue zone is when we're feeling sad, and the green zone is when we're feeling good and have our listening ears on. You can support this at home by asking, "What color are you feeling right now?" Putting a color to an emotion helps little ones understand and express their big feelings. 

We also read lots of books this week, including two favorites by Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? We practiced counting and talking about numbers along with the caterpillar, and with Brown Bear we had so much fun making all the animal sounds together! Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us. We are so thankful for each of them!

Have a great weekend and a good Shabbos,
