Learning Together Joyfully: February – Cold Hands, Warm Hearts

Welcome Educators, Parents and Grandparents! There is much to celebrate and keep us engaged this February. The Winter Olympics may cause us to fondly reflect on Vancouver’s successful experiences in 2010 as we watch this year’s Beijing Olympics from February 4th to the 20th. The Olympics provide an excellent platform to remind children of the importance of reaching goals through hard work and doing our best even when mistakes are made. Celebrating Black History month also provides us opportunities to reflect and support our children to better understand the importance of cultural diversity and inclusion. As we watch our Canadian Olympians with pride, highlight for our children, demonstrations of sportsmanlike behavior. Kindness and empathy underpin these admirable traits and are perfect to discuss on Valentine’s Day, Nov. 14 and on Random Acts of Kindness Day on February 17th. Enjoying a special BC Family Day, on February 21, filled with activities…or just a calm day bonding and enjoying each other at home…may also form part of your plans. All in all, there is much to do. February looks to be another month filled with many positive family activities as you play, learn, and grow together with your children.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

  • We want children to grow up in a world free from bias and discrimination, to actualize their dreams and feel that it is possible to accomplish their goals and dreams. We want them to feel loved and included and never to experience the pain of rejection or exclusion. Unfortunately, the reality is that we do live in a world where racism and other forms of bias continue to affect us. Discrimination hurts and can leave scars that last a lifetime, affecting goals, ambitions, life choices, and feelings of self-worth.
  • It is important that we prepare children to meet the challenges and benefit from the increasingly diverse world they will inherit. Books are ways to initiate discussions at home and in the classroom so we can raise children to celebrate and value diversity and family traditions, are kind to those who are different, love themselves and are proud of themselves just the way they are.  We can teach children to respect and value people regardless of the colour of their skin, their physical abilities, or the language they speak. Read more here about how to teach children about diversity.

But when the school play doesn’t go the way she’d hoped, will she remember to show kindness to herself? We talk to kids a lot about how to be friends to others, but not much about how to be friends to themselves. Yet self-acceptance and positive self-talk help them build emotional resilience, growth mindset, and well-being. This book reminds us of the other golden rule– to treat ourselves with the same understanding and compassion we give to others. It Includes kid-friendly mindfulness and self-compassion activities.
  • Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson. This unforgettable book has a powerful anti-bullying message with striking art. Chloe and her friends won’t play with the new girl, Maya. Every time Maya tries to join Chloe and her friends, they reject her. Eventually Maya stops coming to school.

On Saturdays, she visits Grandma and Grandpa, who come from a European-American background, and on Sundays — los domingos — she visits Abuelito y Abuelita, who are Mexican-American. While the two sets of grandparents are different in many ways, they also have a great deal in common — in particular, their love for their granddaughter. While we follow our narrator to the circus and the pier, share stories from her grandparents’ pasts, and celebrate her birthday, the depth and joy of both cultures are conveyed in Spanish and English. This affirmation and celebration of both heritages will speak to all children who want to know more about their own families and ethnic backgrounds.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY BOOKS – FEBRUARY 17th 

Feelings don’t give a warning sign before they come up, so it’s important to help children create a toolbox of activities or expressive outlets to work through different feelings and emotions.

The book from acclaimed bullying expert Trudy Ludwig, conveys a message of kindness and offers concrete steps that kids can take to make a difference in their own communities.
  • Heartprints by P.K. Hallinan.

WINTER OLYMPICS

Open-ended art projects encourage children to choose from a variety of materials made available at home or in the classroom. This allows children to choose the materials they want to use, how they want to use them, and what they will make. Each child’s creation is unique and original as there is no right or wrong way to explore and create. Creative expression offers children an opportunity to develop important skills that support positive social emotional health including the ability to name and identify their own feelings, think critically about the world around them and practice self-regulation for positive behaviour management.

VALENTINE DAY CRAFTS

  • Create an open-ended Valentine basket which might include the following:
    • Valentine’s Day Stickers 
    • Sticky Foam Hearts
    • Cotton Balls.
    • Cellophane Grass
    • Water Beads
    • Outdoor found items such as twigs, cones, stones, leaves, feathers
    • Small Paint set for children to create thumbprint hearts
    • Pompoms 
    • Buttons
  • Make a Valentine PlaceMat for a parent. Children place their hand in paint and then press their handprint onto a thicker piece of white paper. Next they place thumbprint hearts all over in different colours. Finally, you can have children glue on this Valentine recipe printable or print it onto the PlaceMat themselves. Older children can create their own recipe to include on their PlaceMat. You may wish to have each PlaceMat laminated or apply clear contact paper so it is protected from spills and easily wiped off. 
  • Consider these creative homemade Valentine Card ideas:
    • Apple of My Eye, Create a stamp by cutting an apple in half and then trimming the edges to look like a heart. Round out a hole in the centre. Use red paint to stamp and have children draw seeds in the middle and a stem on top. Print on the card: You Are the APPLE of my Eye! 
Valentines With A-Peel
  • This abstract Valentine’s Day card involves using a salad spinner. Line the salad spinner with plastic wrap, then tape a 5×5-inch piece of cardstock into the basket. Have children drop a tiny bit of acrylic paint into the spinner (you can mix the paint with water to thin it out, if needed). Put on the lid, have children spin it, as they watch the paint create cool patterns! You can repeat these steps using other colors until you get your desired design.

  • Read the book Heartprints by P.K. Hallinan to inspire a school-wide February activity. Children are asked to complete a heartprint template (or create their own) and draw how they would brighten the world with acts of kindness and caring. They can display their “heartprints” on designated areas throughout the school.

SENSORY PLAY BINS

Sensory play is any type of play that involves the senses! Sensory bins are one way for children to experience hands-on learning and exploration.. A sensory bin can be created using a large tub or container that is filled with some sort of “filler” material and various objects that are intentionally picked out to stimulate different senses. Typically sensory bins work to challenge six different senses: Tactile (touch); Auditory (sound); Visual (sight); Olfactory (smell); Proprioceptive (Pressure) and Gustatory (taste). 

  • To create a sensory bin, take a plastic storage box and fill it with age-appropriate items such as sand, uncooked rice or beans, cotton balls or feathers. Add in other small items like toys, shovels, matchbox cards, Legos, small bowls, spoons.. The goal is to include a variety of textures and tactile stimulation for children to experience and interact with.
  • If you are in an area where there is a sensitivity to including food items in your sensory bins, here is a list of 75 non-food sensory bin fillers.
  • Here are  50 Non-Food and Edible Bin Filler Ideas.  
  • Print off 2 template sets of Ocean Animals, Farm Animals, and Zoo Animals. Bury one in the sensory bin and have children find them and then match the card to another set. You may also wish to bury plastic sets of each of these animals as well as lego pieces, bowls, etc. Check the lists above to decide which fillers you will use.
  • Print off 2 sets of Construction equipment. Bury one in the sensory bin and have children find them and then match the card to another set. 
  • Print off 2 sets of Dinosaurs. Bury one in the sensory bin and have children find them and then match the card to another set. 
  • Valentine Sensory Bins filler ideas
  • Alphabet Sensory Bin ideas
  • Fine Motor Skill Bin ideas
  • Birds Sensory Bin for Kids
  • Dr. Seuss Rhymes Sensory Bin Activity based on the books: The Cat In The Hat, Hop on Pop, and Green Eggs and Ham. A sensory bin is a wonderful way to combine literacy with play for a truly joyful early childhood learning experience.

WINTER OLYMPICS

  • Have children enjoy creating some open-ended Olympic art activities in preparation to celebrate the Olympics. In this way they can learn more about the Olympic Circles, Mascots and much more. 
    • Have children create nature-themed Olympic Circles by finding natural items such as leaves, rocks, twigs, pinecones, to complete each of the five circles. They may have to paint some of the items as it can be challenging to find the right colours. Alternatively, they can simply create and leave their art in the natural setting.

. 

  • Learn about previous Olympic mascots and have children create a new one.
  • Share information with children about previous Olympic Medals and then have them design new ones – especially if you are planning a Winter Olympic Playground event!
  • Learn more about the official Beijing 2022 Mascot Bing Deng Deng. “Bing” means “ice”, and symbolises purity and strength, while “Dwen Dwen” means robust and lively and represents the children.With a suit of ice, a heart of gold and a love of all things winter sports, this panda is ready to share the true spirit of the Olympics with the whole world.
  • Learn about the official Beijing 2022 Paralympic Game Mascot  Shuey Rhon Rhon who represents a lantern associated with the Lunar New Year.

  • Want to get kids excited and in the spirit of the Olympics? See ideas below – Reflect and organize a Winter-themed Olympic day at home or on the school playground. Before your home or classroom games, have children say the following  (Olympic oath)  Olympic Oath:
    • In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.
    • A simplified version for children to say could be:
    • “I promise to follow the rules of the games;to be fair; to be a good sport, to  honour my teams and to play for fun!
  • This handout (Page 9 and 10) shares how one school focussed on organizing positive values as they organized a school playground Olympic games initiative.

Creative expression through movement also comes with the added benefit of physical activity – supporting the mind-body connection. Feelings are special and specific to each and every one of us – so how we express them is, too. Use movement to bring the attention back to the body and have fun exploring feelings and emotions. Children can explore their creativity, develop their logical thinking and reasoning skills and better understand emotions and how to interact with others.

Practicing yoga and mindfulness with children supports them in identifying feelings and emotions while learning to manage their reactions and behaviors in healthy ways that work best for them. Stretching or practicing yoga helps children to re-center attention on the present moment and begin to build capacity and self-regulation within themselves.
