Welcome to our October curriculum theme, My Emotions and Feelings!

Our TLE friend Miss Chievous will guide children through October’s curriculum!

You can extend our October curriculum concepts with a hands-on activity at home! Use homemade play dough to create different facial features with your little one. While you play, discuss how the different shapes represent different emotions. Exploring emotions helps little learners build strong relationships, regulate big feelings, and problem solve!
