The Green Beans expanded their interest in babies by playing a matching game with their own baby pictures and putting it together to create a class baby book!

Each GSRP classroom received, "STOP and Read This Book: A Sensory Grounding Brain Break Disguised as a Book" for their calming spaces. Students learn to tune into their five senses to calm and reset their bodies when they are experiencing big, uncomfortable feelings.
In Ms. Connie's preschool classroom, teachers read the children a non fiction “Polar Bears” book where they learned about how polar bears stay warm in the arctic and in the Ocean with the winter blubber they put on under their fur. They then completed a science project where the students could feel the water temperature through an empty plastic bag or a plastic bag lined with a lard insulated “Polar Bear Paw '' when placed in the water. Everyone had so much fun!
