Happy Friday, Lil Steamer Families!

Lil Steamer Families --
I'd like to share a proud dog dad moment with you all.
Earlier this week, we had a student that was struggling and needed some support. That student was anxious and did not want to go to the classroom after arriving to school.
Despite the staff and I's best efforts, we could not get make the connection to see the positive change for that student.
We are fortunate to have a four-legged superhero at the Greatest Little Elementary School in the Universe, though!
Rocco and I stopped down to our counselor's office a little later and we took a walk with the student. The student held the leash and helped me walk Rocco through the hallways and work on a few commands.
The student and Rocco raced down the walkway from the middle school and it was heartwarming to see the smile wrinkles around the student's eyes and behind the mask.
The student walked Rocco back into FES with me and we arrived to the classroom. The transition went great and Rocco and I joined in a little brain break fun activity the class had just begun.
It amazes me how this snorting, sniffing, four-legged good boy had the ability to help this student when the staff and I had been unsuccessful. And, I'm grateful for Rocco's unconditional love and interaction with our Lil Steamers.
Hug your kiddos a little tighter this weekend. Oh, and take your dog for a walk even though it might be a little cold for you - they deserve your best, too :)
Warm Regards,
JAGH
P.S. Rocco gets pretty worn out at the end of a full day interacting with Lil Steamers :)
Student COVID Related Absences

We joined over 18 million students in over 35,000 schools in participating in the Great Kindness Challenge. I want to extend a special “Thank You” to parents for encouraging their children to participate and complete the acts of kindness. We witnessed children doing kind acts such as offering compliments to one another and drawing pictures for their friends. Children are encouraged to continue to spread kindness every day. Sometimes all it takes is a friendly smile and a helping hand.
Thank You Eric Ottens Memorial Grant
Spotting our Emotions in 2A
2B LOVES Wordle
The word is always 5 letters.
After your first guess, if a letter is highlighted green it means you have the right letter in the right place.
If a letter is yellow, it means you have a correct letter but in the wrong place.
If a letter is crossed out, it means that letter isn’t in the word at all.
You get a total of 6 guesses.
You know the game is fun, when kids are asking to play more!
Animal and Space Traits
3B has been doing research on animals to write an informative paper on our favorite animal. In science we learned about animal and human traits that might change if we lived in space! We also discovered what kinds of traits dinosaurs had and were able to discover what their diet was from identifying the type of teeth they had.
We practiced the types of activities astronauts do to prepare for going to space. Then we discovered how astronauts have changed when they return to Earth. We had so much fun!
