Thanksgiving, fire safety, and of course, stone soup were the topics of Outdoor Education this week! Our 3rd and 1st graders focused on being grateful and thankful for what we have. Second grade focused on their own stone soup over a small flame. The 5th/6th also learned how to identify kindling in nature, they gathered their ingredients for stone soup, and then wrapped up with learning about and playing some Native American games!
🦊**As temperatures continue to drop through the season, please remind your children to dress warm and bring a coat on Tuesdays! They will continue spending some time outside to explore, learn, and grow!**🦝

Yesterday, Mrs. Lowe's 3rd grade SEL class explored strong feelings and learned how our feeling brain can sometimes take over our thinking brain when emotions run high. They also discussed helpful strategies to calm our bodies when experiencing strong feelings.
Here are four of our 3rd graders who illustrated their strong feelings and shared one calming technique they can use! Great work, 3rd grade!
