Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Update
For SEL we have been finishing up lessons on the first Ingredient in the Choose Love Formula (Courage) and moving on to the second ingredient (Gratitude). We learned that Gratitude is when you feel thankful and want to share that feeling with others. Gratitude breath helps us change our attitude when we are having a bad day by helping us focus on things we can be grateful for and there is always, always something to be grateful for. Students got to share their gratitudes and see how that helped them feel happier just by sharing.
Second graders learned how to say thank you in some other languages and 1st graders watched a book read aloud of The Thank You Letter https://youtu.be/mu_jX7Yp6bo. Second grade classes also learned about the importance of gratitude for yourself and worked on a craft called Owl Always Be Amazing. First grade classes learned about The Power of Yet from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLeUvZvuvAs and we started reading the book Bubble Gum Brain.

Specials Highlight- Art
News from the Art Room.
Your child has been busy creating art out of clay. Kindergarten artists worked with slabs and coils. First grade artists connected coils and 3-D shapes. Second grade artists learned how to create a pinch pot with attachments. We are now spending time glazing our clay projects and are excited to see them after they are fired in the kiln. Thanks for all you do to support your child’s creativity. Mrs. Elwood
Perfect Attendance for the first Semester!
