Happy Friday! This week we completed Give Me 5 which helps us get ready to learn during our circle time discussions. Let’s name them!
M: Eyes on the speaker
I: Ears listening
R: Lips closed
M: Sit up straight
R: Hands and feet quiet
Now that we’re able to do that, we have entered Super Hero Training! What is a super hero?
E: It is a kind of person who is super!
There are many things super heroes can do that allow them to do amazing things! Whenever we accomplish one of these, we will get a badge to show for it!
R: Is it hard?
Some of them might be hard, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t do it!
The first super power that we began training today is FOCUS! What is focus?
R: You don’t listen to anyone. Only teacher.
K: Keep doing something. Like drawing.
C tried to distract us while we were focusing on a pink feather by making sounds, but most of us remained focused on the feather. Some of us were distracted by the sounds but we tried to regain focus again when the sound stopped. Focusing doesn’t just mean staring at the teacher, but also finding the focus again once you are distracted. One story which shows focus and effort to finish a task is The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper. We acted the story out with the toy trains in our classroom. We all chose some important food and toys for the train to carry.
E: Natto
R: Sushi
L: Train
H: Car
K: Plarail
I: Princess
We were surprised when the biggest train wouldn’t help the broken down train even though they were strong enough to do so.
L: They will be no more! (food and toys)
R: They can’t eat!
The smallest train offered to help even though they had never done so before. But they kept saying “I think I can, I think I can!” and the little train carried all the cars over the bridge to the city!
Some of the super powers we will try to master may be difficult, but if we try our best, we will achieve them all!
Have a wonderful weekend! See you next week!
Love,
Flowers
