We kicked off the month of March with Read Across America Day! We had our GW Book Fair and Read-a-Thon! Students were able to choose free books and then earn a special treat for reading as much as they could! Staff also acted out an interactive read aloud of the "Hare and the Tortoise " for students and their families.
Room 7 helpers demonstrated the skill "Accepting Differences" at our PBIS Assembly with a fun dancing activity (see pictures below)! Our Skill of the Month for March is "Empathy," please see link below to help teach your child to understand and share feelings with one another.
Reminder: Please do not send toys from home into school with your child. They are often very distracting to students and can disrupt teaching. Keeping toys home will also prevent them from being lost at school. If your child needs special accommodations for bus rides, please let us know and we can keep items in the office. Thank you for your cooperation.

“Share the Pen” Writing with Your Child: "Shared writing" gives young children the chance to do some writing while you fill in the rest. This is how it works: Decide together with your child what to write and then you "share the pen" as you write. You can tackle the unknown parts and let your child write the letters/words they can tackle. You can then read what you wrote, invite your child to read it, or read it together. Try creating a daily schedule, poem or a list of outdoor activities to do together.
