Weekly Update
It was another great week of learning at Foothills! Students are wrapping up Unit 4 in Math and continuing Unit 3 in ELA. I have read so many amazing Opinion essays. Our Falcons have some strong persuasion skills! Be sure to ask your child what they write their opinion essay on.
Students are continuing the Kindness Challenge. We are working on thinking about how we treat others!
We still have many items left in the lost and found. We will have it in the vestibule out front until Spring Break. We will then donate what is left over. Be sure to check it out!
Do you have a child that will be ready for Preschool, Early Kindergarten, or Kindergarten next year? Registration is now open for the 2023-24 school year. Visit this website to get enrolled: Early Learning Enrollment

Zones of Regulation
This week, students students will use what they learned about tools last week to help them when they are frustrated this week. They will identify when they are feeling frustrated and use a tool whether or not the tool worked. They will track it over the day and take time to reflect about how it helped.
Spend time this week asking your child about the tools they use and whether the tool helps them self-regulate. The goal is to have students learn to recognize when they are dysregulated and then find a toll that works for them to get regulated. This skill will help them as they grow.
Compassion
Our character trait of the month for March is Compassion.
Compassion means:
Being compassionate looks like empathy in action.
Empathy is understanding someone’s feelings, compassion is doing something to help that person
Empathy can look like giving someone a hug when they get hurt or offering to help them solve a problem they are struggling with.
