We Wish You Well!

We wish you well is something we do as a class every morning. Each friend has their picture on a old milk bottle cap. Everyone starts in the center of the heart. Every morning while checking in friends find their picture and move it to the outside of the heart. Once morning meeting starts our Safe Box Keeper brings over the safe box and we wish you well. We check to see if anyone is left in the heart. If their are friends left in the heart we sing our song. Then go into the safe box. If everyone is here we go directly into the safe box. Friends that are here go on the bottom because you are safe at school. Friends that are not here go on the top because you are safe at home. Then the Safe Box Keeper puts everything away and we start our day. The Safe Box Keeper is a classroom job and changes weekly.



I share with friends my number one job at school is to keep them safe. Number two is to love them and number three is to teach them.

Happy hump day!

Love,
Miss Brehm

First Day Fun!

Today was a wonderful day! We had fun exploring our classroom, learning different expectations and just getting to know one another! We enjoyed our first special today LIBRARY! Mrs. Burroughs is so nice and we enjoyed our time together. As a class we read the book Shh We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton. It is a wonderful book that we will be creating our first classroom book about! In the whirl of the end of day I forgot to send home the first day letters with our schedule. I will make sure to get them home tomorrow in Thursday folders. I am so happy that we are all together! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us!  Love, Miss Brehm

Sunshine Chair

This is our Sunshine Chair! It is a very special place in our classroom where friends can go to relax, regroup, think and feel safe. In our classroom anyone can go and sit in the sunshine chair any time they want. Friends also may be invited to sit in the sunshine chair. While sitting in the chair friends are able to watch Zogika and calm their minds. It is not just for students! I myself have used the chair once or twice when I am feeling frustrated, sad or if I just need some space. I do this to model the expectations for how to use the sunshine chair, to identify feelings and to help friends self regulate. Also so friends know that it is not a time out chair or take a break chair.  Feel free to stop by anytime and check out this amazing space in our classroom! Love, Miss Brehm
