2020 Holiday Spirit Week

Why are self- help skills important?

Self- help or self-care skills are an important part of development. These are the first ways that children learn to perform necessary daily tasks. Invest some time with your little one to encourage these self-care skills. At each age, children are able to carry out certain self-care tasks themselves. These tasks need to be done independently, without assistance. Many self-help skills are precursors for school-related tasks. When children go to nursery school they start to teach some self-help skills in class. They work on hanging up their backpack, hanging up their jacket, putting their jacket on themselves and opening their snacks.

When a child completes these tasks they have a sense of accomplishment and are in charge of their bodies. Allowing your children to do more themselves also shows your child that you trust them and believe in them. This will help develop healthy self-esteem.

Making the effort to work on these skills at a young age take time and are not easy, but will have a huge impact on their growth and development.

Good Morning!

Ma. Tracy and I looking forward to being with our classes soon.

In the beginning of this pandemic -Ms. Tracy and I have changed our classroom procedures to reduce the spread of the virus.

We are avoiding community supplies when possible.
Community supplies are considered high-touch and should be cleaned frequently.

Each child has their own crayons and markers.
We sent home the boxes of crayons and markers when we closed on July 13 just to error on the side of caution.

Please have your child bring a box of crayons and markers when they return on Monday, July 27.

These items will be stored in their cubbies for their personal use.

Thank you for cooperation

Ms. Tracy and Ms.Julie

Process vs. Product/Life-long Learning:
Many of us continue learning how to regulate our emotions throughout our lives. “Co-regulating” means, in part, to continue learning in front of and alongside the young children in your life.
