November Second Step Focus - Emotion Management!
For the next month, our schoolwide theme is emotion management. In our morning announcements we’ll be reminding students to recognize their own emotions, to use their calming strategies when necessary, and to communicate their feelings.
Second Step lessons specifically teach about emotion management. Here are some Home Links describing why emotion management is important and including fun activities to do with your child to help him or her identify feelings and practice emotion management. We hope you find them helpful.

Woooo Hoooo ...Classrooms Filled Their Beaver Bravo Jar!!!
Every time a student is recognized for displaying positive behaviors that meet one of our school wide expectations, they receive a Beaver Bravo. They then put this Bravo into their classroom jar and with every individual positive behavior that is recognized, classroom jars soon fill up. Once full, the class dumps their jar into our school wide jar located in the main office which results in a spirit day celebration as soon as our school jar is full. What happens as a result of all of these collective positive behaviors? They ALL help shape Pleasant Valley Primary into the amazing community that we all have the privilege of being part of every single day!
If you see any Beaver BRAVO tokens at home, please send them back to school!

The Self Manager Program Kicks Off!
The purpose of the Self Manager Program is to provide a way to recognize students who consistently follow BRAVO expectations, promote positive behavior and encourage students to manage themselves. When a student learns to manage their own behavior the benefits and possibilities are tremendous. Moreover, they will be able to transfer these skills to other areas in their life. Applications available now!
