A Message from Ms. Graf

This morning our school took part in an evacuation. In backpacks you will find a letter from Ms. Graf explaining what took place. If you have any questions as she states please don't hesitate to reach out.

With that being said, I was truly impressed with how every student in our class listened, cared for one another and displayed kindness and respect. (It wasn't just me saying that either... I know I can be biased). Many teachers came to speak with me about how impressed they were in how as a class we handled the whole day. When we returned to school we had our snack, did a little math and then went to lunch. It was so routine, friends got right back to our day. I am very proud.

I wish you well.
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
