…we are continuing to learn about feelings. Puppy and Snail visited the classes to help talk about “Same” and “Different.” Puppy said that he liked to go fast on the merry-go-round, while Snail likes to go slow. They are the same because they both like the merry-go-round, but they like to play on it in different ways. The students got in pairs and made faces to show how they would feel in a situation, and the rest of the class told me if the feelings were the same or different. Next we talked about accidents. Puppy and Snail told a story about an accident that happened to them (Snail stopped in front of Puppy, and Puppy bumped into Snail and dropped his snack). We talked about the difference between something that is an accident and something that is on purpose. We passed around our Be-Calm Bunny, and the students shared a time when something happened on accident.
They have been doing a great job in class, and I’m so glad that they are remembering our feeling words and faces.
