This morning after music class, we read The Peace Book by Todd Parr.
We then talked about what peace means to us and discussed our own personal peace. After talking about it, we did a journal page to express our thoughts. The children did a wonderful job with these! They all put a lot of thought into their pictures and the words they wanted me to write.
Since mid-January, we've had last names added to our attendance mittens. The helper for the day gets to pick out the mittens and read their classmates' names. Many of the children are doing a fantastic job remembering their friends' whole names. Every once in a while, quiz them by asking "What is [Alessandra's] last name again?" and see if they can answer you. This way they will hear the information and be able to retain it and also recognize it on the attendance mittens(if they aren't already).
Today is National Be Humble Day, so be humble! :)
