H. E. Corley Awarded Lighthouse Status by Leader in Me!
There is no app better than a lap!
The Family Learning Committee is creating a display by the cafeteria. Along with pictures of our staff, we would like to add pictures of HEC children reading with their parents to show that "There is no app better than a lap!"
If your children are too big to sit on your lap, you can certainly let them sit beside you. Please send any pictures of your family reading together to Kellee Edwards at kedwards@lexrich5.org by Friday, December 7th.
Happy Reading!
Second Step
This year, H. E. Corley has implemented a research based program called the “Second Step” program. This program is a social-emotional learning program that “helps transform schools into supportive, successful learning environments that is uniquely equipped to encourage children to thrive.” Teachers give short lessons that encourage a “sense of safety and respect grounded in the social-emotional health and well-being of the entire school community.”
Each grade has various goals in each lesson. For example, kindergartners learn rules of being a good listener by learning the “Listening Rules” which include:
● Eyes watching
● Ears listening
● Voice quiet
● Body still
Being a good listener helps children become better learners! From time to time, you will receive an activity that you can practice with your family at home. All the activities will correlate with what they are learning at school. Be on the watch for activities! If you have any questions, contact Estelene Nichols, school counselor, at 803-476-4001 or enichols@lexrich5.org.
