During our art time, Julianne came in to help us make a banner for the Laurel/Strawberry Creek Bale Sale. Using watercolor and sharpie, the children designed delicious treats, cut them out, and glued them on to the pedestals that were drawn onto large paper.
During Community Meeting, Kate came in to share some information about Zones of Regulation. Using color code, children can learn how to recognize where their body is on a simple scale and how to regulate themselves when needed.
