The Serene Scoop

Message From the Principal:
I have loved talking with the students about our snow day this week. They were all so excited, and I'm thrilled everyone was able to experience something that is so uncommon in our part of the world.
Next week in Second Step: It’s okay for people to have strong feelings. But when you have strong feelings, it can be hard to think about what to do. You can get back in control by calming down. The first step is to use a stop signal to catch your own attention and to tell yourself to stop. You might say “Chill out!” “Stop!” or “Relax!” Next use your feeling detective skills to name your feeling. When you recognize your feelings, the thinking part of your brain can start to manage them. Take a moment to talk to your child and help them decide what stop signal you will use this week.
It's another long weekend. I hope everyone gets some quality time and enjoys it. See you next Wednesday!
Thank you,
Keegan Luedecke
Principal
