Today, we were able to celebrate our reading success for our first Read-A-Thon at our first assembly since Covid! It was great to be together as one school to celebrate our HARD WORK! I am incredibly proud of the students for reading 1,403 hours, our community for raising a generous amount for playground equipment, our teachers for encouraging reading, and all the parents that made this happen behind the scenes. Thank you! Continue to read each and every day with your child! It makes a difference!

P.S. Don't forget to set your clock back an hour on Sunday for day light savings!

Happy Friday Chapelfield families!

With the weather starting to get colder, I want to make sure every student has what they need to stay warm. If your child is in need of winter clothes like coats, hats, socks, and gloves, please let me know and I can help you obtain those items. As well, with the holidays coming up, please let me know if you need assistance with obtaining holiday meals. I can be reached at woodal@gjps.org or (614) 643-0765.

Last week I provided a resource for promoting a growth mindset in your child. Having a growth mindset includes the ability to turn worries into wonder. We all have worries, but when we become focused on them and overthink them they turn into problems. Many students have been struggling to control their worries this year at Chapelfield. You can help your child overcome their worries by helping them turn them into "I wonder", which also promotes a growth mindset. The poster below provides great examples of turning worries into "I wonder" and great reasons to practice this with your child. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Thank you for your support! Have a great and relaxing weekend!
