Good Morning and Happy Monday! Last week we talked all about FEELINGS. The activities I posted about FEELINGS can be done any time!! When you are having strong feelings, you can create a spot in your house called a COOL DOWN CORNER. Step 1: Choose a SPECIAL spot in your house! (I choose a chair in my living room!) Step 2: Go to your special spot - this is your COOL DOWN CORNER! Step 3: Choose a COOL DOWN STRATEGY!
Step 4: When you are "cool" - reflect! What helped you cool down? Why? Do I still need more time to cool down? Talk to someone or write it down on a piece of a paper. Attached (bel0w) to this post will be how to make one! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week, let's talk about BUCKETS! Buckets?! What do you mean, Miss McCabe?? We ALL have a bucket! Everyone carries around an "invisible" bucket! You, your mom, your dad, your grandma, your grandma, EVERYONE! Our buckets have a purpose - they hold your good thoughts and good feelings about yourself! You (and others) feel very happy and good when your bucket is full! :) You (and others) feel sad and lonely when your bucket is empty :( We can fill each other's buckets! So... Let's talk about FILLING UP SOMEONE'S BUCKET! One of my FAVORITE books, "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?" Will tell us how! Below is the link to listen to the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EuemNAo6XE Are you FILLING up a bucket? Or are you DIPPING into a bucket? We want to be bucket FILLERS! We DO NOT want to be bucket DIPPERS! This week, let's be BUCKET FILLERS!!! Try these activities EVERYDAY this week! MONDAY: Listen to the story and discuss with someone! -What was this story about? -Why is filling up someone's bucket important? -Can we fill our own bucket if we dip into someone else's? -What are some ways to fill a bucket? -What are some ways in dip into a bucket? TUESDAY: Bucket FILLERS and Bucket DIPPERS -Find 2 bags or bins or buckets from around your home! -Label one: BUCKET FILLERS and label the other: BUCKET DIPPERS (Picture below) -Take turns writing down ways to FILL a bucket on little pieces of paper and put them into your BUCKET FILLERS! THEN -Take turns writing down ways to DIP INTO a bucket on little pieces of paper and put them into your BUCKET DIPPERS! (Ideas for fillers and dippers bel0w if you need some help!) WEDNESDAY: "I am a BUCKET FILLER When" Activity. -Draw or trace a bucket! (examples below) -Use or trace the stars and hearts to write on! -On each start or heart, write a different way you can be a BUCKET FILLER! Then add them to your bucket. -Color your bucket however you'd like! THURSDAY: RATE THE STORY! -Watch/Read the story -How would you rate this book out of 5 stars? -Use the RATE MY BOOK page at the bottom of this post OR Draw 5 stars at the top of a piece of paper. Color in how many you would give this book out of 5. -Write about your favorite part FRIDAY: PRACTICE -Today is pretty simple... PRACTICE some BUCKET FILLING!!!!!! I can't wait to hear all about how you are filling your own bucket and the bucket of others at home!! Feel free to Send me pictures of you FILLING BUCKETS!!! Or share with me when we meet on google! Have a wonderful week and fill some buckets! Miss McCabe ![]()

Hi everyone!
A few parents have reached out to me with confusion surrounding the Learning Packets for Diverse Learners. These packets should still be available for pick-up in the office. However, some parents were given the wrong packets. Please double check with the office that they are packets for Miss McCabe! Attached to the packets were supposed to be a note from me. It seems that these weren't attached, uh-oh! That's okay, we will get it right next time! :) New packets will be available in the coming weeks - I will send a REMIND text when they are available for pick-up. Here is the note from me explaining the packets and at-home learning : Dear families, Welcome to the At Home Learning Packet! This packet includes 3 weeks of work from home assignments. Each daily assignment consists of 5 pages of math, reading, sight words and more! Please plan to work for about 60-90 minutes or 1.5 hours a day. This packet is designed to serve as a review and extra practice. However, please monitor your child as they complete the assignments and help your child review any pages that they find challenging. OTHER IDEAS TO EXTEND LEARNING THROUGHOUT THE DAY:
If you are able, please continue to check my webpage for videos and lessons. There you will find videos of me teaching as well as social emotional learning lessons. http://patrickhenryes.cps.edu/room-117-ms-mccabe You can email me or message me on the REMIND app anytime!!

Feel free to take this week off from completing school work. HOWEVER!

Good Morning!
Learning Packets will be available for Diverse Learners next week. I will send a text on REMIND when they are ready for pick up! In the mean time, here are some videos to practice your skills along with me! SIGHT WORDS with Miss McCabe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2gJA_We_oU Let's read a book together! Click the link below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jEgHfLW9d8 Listen to the story and try to answer the following questions: BEFORE READING/LISTENING TO THE BOOK: What is the title of the book? Who is the author? What predictions can you make from looking at the front cover? Do you think this book if fiction (make believe) or non-fiction (real)? Why? DURING READING/LISTENING TO THE BOOK: Who are the characters? Where is the setting? What is happening on this page? What do you think will happen next? Why? What does this page remind you of? AFTER READING/LISTENING TO THE BOOK: What happened first? What happened next? What happened last? What was the problem in the story? How did the problem get fixed? What was your favorite part of the story? Why? You can use these questions for any book you read at home! Letter Names and Sounds Video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwOQvh_mJ4w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP1blVh1ZQM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFa0b_IIRac Hey there! *LEARNING PACKETS COMING SOON - STAY TUNED!* In the mean time, let's talk about SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING! Social-Emotional Learning, or SEL, gives students the tools to excel in and OUT of the classroom! At Henry, we teach explicit SEL lessons to all of our students to ensure that they make progress in emotion management, situational awareness, and academic achievement. WHY SEL?! This video will explain! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikehX9o1JbI One program that we use at Henry is called Second Step. Through Second Step, students learn invaluable skills that help them navigate their way through school as well as their community. The program uses age-appropriate games, activities, and media engage students and set children on a path to lifelong success. We know that ALL of us have A LOT of feelings about what is going on right now and that is OKAY!! We can use the tools from school and Second Step to help us manage our feelings and continue our SEL growth. We can continue this growth even while we are away from school. Second Step can be used AT HOME! Below are links to Second Step Songs! Students are familiar with these songs :) Use these YouTube videos to sing along with when you are feeling a certain way! The Calm Down Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs0CgHZdNcc&t=8s The Learner Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH7Lj2BS1vc The Anger Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viaUQT4UrVk&t=15s The Feelings Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J7HcVLsCrY Here are links to some other GREAT videos that can help you manage your feelings. These videos walk you through how to calm down. Sing along or watch with the whole family! Bring It Down Go Noodle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRkILioT_NA The Listening Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUIGKhG_Vq8 Rainbow Breathing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O29e4rRMrV4&t=122s Inside Out; Guess the Feeling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOkyKyVFnSs Use Your Words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDUcyLtKC3M Songs to start the morning!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HnBi61cfiU A GREAT way to calm down is to make your very own COOL DOWN CORNER in your home!! Create a space for yourself to reset! The PDF for how to make a Cool Down Corner can be found at the bottom of this post! I hope these videos and resources are helpful for you!! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if there is a specific SEL need your child has. I am here to help! Reach me by email or: I now have the REMIND app!!!! I can be found under "Miss McCabe K-2." Take care of your mind this week! I am thinking about you all. Love, Miss McCabe ![]()
