Hello Koala Parents! 🐨🍂

I can’t believe this year is almost over! It has been such a joy watching your little Koalas grow, learn, and become their own amazing, independent people. I feel so lucky to be part of their journey! 💛

This month, we’ll be focusing on expressing our feelings in positive ways. Without hitting, yelling, scratching, or biting. Although this is something we practice every day, we’ll be spending extra time helping the children use their words to share how they feel.

You can help at home too! The more consistency children experience between school and home, the more confident they become in expressing their emotions. In class, we model phrases like, “I need space,” or “I don’t like that.” These simple words empower children to communicate calmly when they’re feeling upset or frustrated.

We’ll also be celebrating the season with some fun fall crafts and talking about the things we’re most thankful for! 🍁✨

Also we would like to remind all parents to PLEASE check your child’s classroom whiteboard, we use the whiteboards for reminders of what your child needs. Things like diapers, wipes, sunscreen, ect. We will still be giving verbal and ProCare reminders, the boards are just another form of communication. The K2 board is located immediately to the right as you walk in the classroom. The K1 board is located above the sensory bins, near the emergency exit.
