On this cold winter day, we needed some warm fuzzies in our classroom. We started out with our Picture Book of the Day, Ishi, which is a wonderful book about a rock named Ishi. Ishi talks about not if, but when you have emotions like feeling lonely, stuck, different, etc and what you can do when you get those feelings. We then made our own Ishies to remind us that we all have those feelings, but there are things we can do to help each other and ourselves get through them. We then did a craft by filling a white paper with all kinds of positive words, pictures and thoughts. We traced each other's hands. I told the kids they can't trace their own hands because we are a community that helps one another. Then we cut out our hands and a heart and glued them all together. They turned out wonderful and will hang in the hallway for a bit. While one class was making these, I went across the hall to my other class to say hello and see what they were up to. We didn't switch today because it was a half day with special and recess. They were doing an art project too!
