At The Goddard School® of Urbana II, we love seeing all of the creative lunches your children bring to School. We also know that packing lunch can be tedious for many reasons. Make it a little more fun with these great lunch hacks for busy families! 🍎 Freeze foods like yogurt, apple sauce pouches and juice boxes ahead of time. They’ll thaw in time for lunch! 🍎 Use cupcake liners to separate food in lunch boxes. 🍎 Make your own crustless sandwiches with a mason jar, round cookie cutter or crimper. 🍎 Place plastic wrap over foods that may leak, like watermelon or salad dressing, in a bento-style lunch box. 🍎 Slice a slit into a banana to help your child peel it easier. Don’t slice too much because you don’t want it to brown. Extra credit: Write a cute note or draw a silly face on the banana peel with edible markers or a toothpick!
Today is National Friendship Day! One of the units in our Wonder of Learning curriculum will have our students explore the question "What makes a good friend?"

Children experience all the same emotions as adults, but they aren’t yet equipped with the tools to handle those feelings. The first step toward understanding their big feelings is helping them learn how to recognize and name their emotions. At Urbana II we like asking open-ended questions like “What is something that makes you happy or sad?” or “Can you show me what face you make when you are happy, sad or angry?” This gives children the opportunity to share their emotions and show what they know about them. This exercise had Goddard students using emojis to identify each emotion in honor of World Emoji Day. 😊😕😆😥😴 Give it a try with your little one!
It’s National Play Outside Day! At Urbana II, playing outside is in our DNA. Enjoy this day with your family by letting your child lead. Maybe they want to blow bubbles, make mudpies or go on a bug hunt! As long as you’re outside together, the fun will follow. Check out some fun outdoor play activities that you can do with your preschooler on The Goddard School® website: https://bit.ly/4dYLUt1

Teachers at Urbana II are extraordinary! We see it in your children’s biggest, brightest smiles every morning. We also see it in quiet moments like knowing exactly what your little one needs to help them fall asleep. And the loud moments like dance parties to get out the wiggles or calming coregulation to soothe big feelings. Share what makes your child’s teacher extraordinary by nominating them for the Teacher of the Year Award on The Goddard School® website: https://bit.ly/41IUKEB Nominations will be accepted until Friday, February 9.
