At this point in time you should have received the new packet for the next 3 weeks of school. If you did not receive the packet, please let me know. I have made a video explaining the materials, submitting work, reviewing procedures, etc. Please watch it and then let me know if you have any questions! This should hopefully help prepare you for the next few weeks!
When I went to the Teacher's College at Columbia University in NYC last year I was able to hear Marc Brackett speak on the importance of emotional awareness for young children. This is one of the main reasons we use the mood meter each day to "check in" and discuss how we are feeling. This is a great video where he explains the mood meter and you can see how it is used in the classroom. I wanted to share this to give you some background since it is part of my calendar videos each day, and something we worked on in class for the first several months of school. Enjoy!
