Happy November!
This week we begin Fall parent-teacher conferences. We are looking forward to sharing your child's growth and progress so far this year. Along with sharing your child's learning, we also use conferences as a time to collaborate with families. Part of our Reggio Emilia philosophy is to view parent's as a child's first teacher. Partnering with families is essential for school success. If you have not signed up for a conference time, please reach out to your classroom teachers to do so.
One thing families will learn more about at conferences is the importance of social emotional development in preschool. We use many strategies to teach these crucial life skills. World of Wonder utilizes Conscious Discipline - a model designed by Dr. Becky Bailey focused on brain research, seven skills of discipline, creating a school family, and more. Our Early Childhood Teacher Consultant Kari Pihlstrom has created take home kits for families to take home to use. The kits include books to read together and activities to complete that focus on social emotional skills. The books center around a character named Sophie as she navigates daily challenges in life and demonstrates how to use the seven skills of Conscious Discipline. If you are interested in borrowing a kit, please contact Kari at kpihlstrom@fentonschools.org For more information on Conscious Discipline, please visit the link below.
