Blog post for week of September 24, 2018
Hello Parents,
Just a reminder that Monday, September 24, will be an early release day for Professional Development. Morning students will come 8:30-10:30 and afternoon students will come 11:00-1:00.
Peace:
After studying each of the five senses so closely, we will continue our peace lessons and focus on the mind and our emotions. We will first talk about positive and negative aspects of the mind and help the children differentiate between Positive Mind and Negative Mind and empower them to identify with their love lights as affirmed by Positive Mind. Then, we will learn how both Positive Mind and Negative Mind like to influence their choices, but that we each have the power to choose. When we make positive choices our love lights will shine. We will also talk about the powers of imagination and concentration and give them experiences in using the power of concentration. Next, we will learn more about identifying and expressing our feelings and how our emotions affect the body, mind, and spirit. Finally, we will give the children an opportunity to express, observe, and look for physical cues to another child’s emotional state, while giving them words to express empathy for another’s feelings.
In Geography, our study of the different land forms will begin this week. We will first introduce the concept of lake and island. And as we continue learning about plants and animals, we will learn more about care of animals as one of our responsibilities. We will also finish up our study on magnets. In art, we will study Piet Mondrian and continue to learn about the primary colors.
Have a great week,
Ms. Martha and Ms. Valerie
