It has been an emotional two weeks , lots of separation anxiety, and I'm not talking just about the two year olds. We have had a few tears……just kidding, we've had alot of tears. Believe me when I say that the tears only last a few minutes. The tears quickly turn to smiles and all is right in the green frogs class for awhile.
Between all the emotions and tears, we've been giving and receiving lots of hugs and learning to share a lap and help console a friend. We are learning that someone from our home family always comes back after we've had fun. In short we are becoming a Green Frog family. If you don't believe me, look at the pictures Ms. Melissa posts and you will see what happens in class after you leave, but don't be sad because they are eagerly awaiting your return to share with you all the fun they had with their new friends.
We have also spent some time exploring our classroom and playground. We do a short circle time singing our greeting song and usually another song. We are learning our animal chairs where we have snack and fun conversations. We have a storytime and have read books about friendship and going to school. Learning to be a friend will continue to be our focus throughout this year.
Next week we will continue to learn how to cope with the strong feelings and emotions we all have and maybe even help a friend feel better with theirs. Also Next week we will begin going to music class with Ms. Viki.
As the next weeks continue please look for more posts from me and be sure to look at the pictures Ms Melissa posts. The blog and pictures will provide a glimpse of what your child does here at school when you're not looking.
We are looking forward to a wonderful year with all our new Green Frogs.
Ms. Linda and Ms. Melissa
