Check out what we did in school today!
We hung our emotions poster. The children love looking at the pictures of their friends making the different emotion faces. We continued to discuss different emotions and how we can act when we feel sad, angry, scared, etc.

We looked at a map of the world and discussed the different continents. We learned where we live, and we also discussed that there are so many different languages spoken throughout the world! We read a book about other languages, and we tried our best to say the words in the different languages.
During Jesus time, we continued to learn the Easter story. We learned that Jesus went through a lot of pain all because He loves us. He took our sins so that we can live in heaven with Him! We learned that the most important part of the Easter story is that Jesus did not stay dead, He rose again!
We looked a various road safety signs today too. We discussed why we have safety signs on the road, and we learned what a few of the signs mean. As we discuss safety signs, the children are learning about how to practice safe behavior.
We then made our own safety signs for our road rug and for the map we created with masking tape. As they were working, the children discussed where to place the various signs on the road. The conversation sounded like this:
Student: We definitely need a speed limit sign on the road in the blocks because they were going to fast this morning.
Student 2: I think we need a stop sign here (points to an intersection on the rug) because there are too many people here.
As the children think through where to place the various signs, they are learning foundational skills for self-regulation. They are thinking through the consequences of their actions and thinking of ways to eliminate the problem.
We also worked on our auction project today! The children were creative as they painted circles on the wooden blocks! I am excited to see how the final project turns out!
