Hello McKinley Skippers!!
Shout out to the amazing McKinley PTO for kicking off Teacher Appreciation Week yesterday with the most SUPER surprise! Thank you to all of the parents who help support our school!! We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful support system.
I am sure that you are aware that we have received a 5,000 dollar grant for the Zones of Regulation next school year. This program was started this year as a social-thinking curriculum to help students regulate their emotions.
The ZONES is a color coded system that helps students recognize their emotions. Self-regulation is something everyone continually works on whether or not we are cognizant of it. We all encounter trying circumstances that test our limits from time to time. If we are able to recognize when we are becoming less regulated, we are able to do something about it to manage our feelings and get ourselves to a healthy place.
We are excited to be able to focus on teaching students techniques to help regulate their feelings and emotional responses on a more broad scale. We hope to provide parent resources through the grant in an effort to bridge home and school!
Youth Ag (Agricultural) Day will take place at McKinley Elementary School on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 from 9AM to 3PM. Students grades PK through Grade 5 will have opportunities to explore topics in Agriculture and Natural Resources in Lake County.
We look forward to many more exciting this ahead!
Make it a great week Skippers!!
