Hello Birmingham Bears!
What is Grit and how do we teach it to our children?
I sat at my computer for quite some time trying to find the best words to answer this question. When I went to Google for a little inspiration, I came across this great article on raising kids with Grit. Instead of giving you the Cliff Notes version, I decided to give you the link. I know as parents we often do not have time to read, but this is truly a great article and I encourage you to take a moment to read and enjoy.
For our Mapping Your Future Day, we will be focusing on teaching our students what grit is all about. We have a lot of fun hands-on activities for the students and I know they will really enjoy our day!
What Else is Coming Up for Wylie Way?

Hi Bears!
Can I just say, I have the best job in the world! I love caring for your little Bears!
I’m a cheerleader for water! Weird, I know! But is your child drinking enough water in a day? Are you? Here’s a cool link that shows how much water elementary kids should intake.

Have a great weekend!

We are continuing with our January lessons on snow, cold, and winter, and the kids are LOVING it!
Attention all parents!!! I need more "Caught Ya Reading" pics. I have used all the ones I can and I need more. You can email them to me at April.Rice@WylieISD.net (If you didn't see your pic in the "caught ya reading," it might have been too blurry, send another one. I would love to use it!)
The Spring Book Fair will be here before you know it. Sign up to help today.
Have a wonderful week,
Mrs. April
