The Feelings In Between

Happy Monday! We’re excited to begin another fun week in Flowers Class!

CIRCLE TIME

At the beginning of circle time, there were two dots drawn on the whiteboard. A drew a straight horizontal line connecting them and then we added some hash marks up and down the line. C added a number 5 to one of the hashes and we took turns adding the rest of the numbers 1-10

J: What about 0!

R: Before 0 it’s minus 1!

For now, we’ll just keep our scale from 0 to 10. C drew a happy face on 10 and R drew a sad face on 0 before we asked the question of the day!

QUESTION OF THE DAY

J: Do you know what so-so means?

S: Not happy but not sad.

R: So-so means that you want to cry but your don’t.

J: So-so means go to sleep when you are tired and then wake up and play by yourself.

Where should we put so-so on the scale?

S: In the middle! Number 5!

S drew a so-so face on 5 and our scale began to fill in!

As we tried to figure out what might be between 0 and 5, we focused on what it means to be sad. We had a bit of a debate about who cries when they are sad.

J: Only babies cry.

R. No! Even if you’re big, do you cry C?

C: Yes. Sometimes I cry.

J: But adults don’t cry!

S: Sometimes my mommy is sad.

C: My mom cries.

M: Sometimes my mommy cry.

J: But my mommy and daddy and brother don’t cry.

R: J, but your mom is crying when you’re sleeping maybe.

HOMEWORK

Tonight’s homework is to ask the adults in our house if they cry.

J: But I already know! They don’t cry.

C: Maybe they cry when you’re at Ohana. So you can ask again!

Let’s also keep thinking about our scale from sad to happy. Is there any feelings from 0-5 or 5-10? What about below 0 or above 10? Or maybe we need a different scale all together!

See you tomorrow! Have a wonderful evening!

Love,

Flowers XOXO
