**On TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY STUDENTS WILL BE PAINTING AND WILL NEED TO WEAR PLAY CLOTHES OR BRING SOMETHING TO COVER THEIR CLOTHES. An old men’s button down shirt would work perfect!

BIST Tip:
Children change their misbehavior when they are able to look at themselves and accept responsibility for their behavior. To do this, children need to feel safe to express their feelings and reasons for their actions. As adults, we provide that safety at school and home by taking the time to really listen to the child. When the child and adult are calm, it is easier for the child to accept the responsibility of their actions and talk about making better choices.
