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

Character Spotlight
Miss Chievous
Our TLE friend Miss Chievous will guide children through October’s curriculum!
Miss Chievous has a lot of energy, and, just like all of us, she sometimes experiences big emotions. In the classroom, she'll help little learners understand what they can do to find their calm when they experience these types of feelings!
Family Connections
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!
