Happy Halloween! š
This week in kindergarten, weāve been exploring our emotions! On Wednesday, students practiced drawing different emotional expressions on their pumpkins. Learning about emotions helps children recognize their own feelings, understand how others might feel, and develop important social and emotional skills theyāll use every day, both in and out of the classroom.
