Friday Reminders 1/14/22

Friday, January 14, 2022

Related to our SEL (social-emotional learning)/morning meeting lessons, the kiddos and I discussed a class goal. The class settled on practicing patience; they will show this by waiting for directions to be done BEFORE they start moving and following them. We are working toward doing this 10 times to earn 10 extra minutes of Fun Friday. 👍 So far, we have been doing well with practicing this skill and working on our goal!
