SEL Lesson Week of 4/27 ALL GRADES

Hi Forestdale Friends!


This week we will be having you watch a video about feelings.  The book is called "The Way I Feel" by Janan Cain.  We thought this was a good one for all grades because after hearing the news of not returning to school we know there are lots of feelings about that.  Are you feeling Disappointed? Frustrated? Are you Thankful for your time with your family.  It is okay to have different feelings about this.  We want to make sure that you talk with a trusted grown up or sibling about your feelings.
We want you to know that we miss you and love seeing you in your morning meetings and will continue to post videos, stories and Stella updates for you!

Love,

Mrs. Pestilli and Ms. Darsch

Hi All!

Flipping your lid is an expression used when people lose control of their anger. This happens to everyone! Check out the video below to learn what happens in your brain when you flip your lid. Very interesting!

STELLA and LUCIA

Here is Stella and her little sister Lucia enjoying the sun after they both got clean and brushed!  Now let's hope Miss Stella doesn't find any muddy puddles that she likes to jump in! :)
