AL'S PALS KIDS MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES
This program is designed to guide children as they explore their world and use their newly developed language and social skills. As the teacher, I will promote interactions that build social competence, problem-solving skills, and a sense of hope and future by providing opportunities for children to be involved in the decision-making process. During the lesson's Al or some of his puppet friends may come to visit the classroom to talk with the children about a variety of topics, the main ones being emotions, problem solving and how to treat others. Along with the program we have a special place in our classroom called Al's place where children and sit when they are upset, take some deep breaths and calm down so that when they return to the situation, classroom, or activity they are in a better state of mind.

Handwriting Without Tears
Handwriting Without Tears is a program that provides children with clear, simple directions for letter formation. It uses many senses–vision, hearing, and touch–to help children remember how to make the letters and what direction they face. The program also helps to make handwriting an automatic and natural skill so that children can focus on what they are writing, not just how to make the letters.
This is a writing program designed to promote GREAT FORMATION OF LETTERS. Encourage your child to use correct letter formation at all times. A sheet will come home periodically.
For more information about the program, you may want to visit the website: www.hwtears.com.
