Social Emotional Learning
With Mrs. Konja
Grateful Ninja
Student's learned through the book Grateful Ninja by Mary Nhin that happiness comes from within each of us when we are grateful for what we have. Grateful Ninja will teach the children about the 5 G's.
1. Growing our "Please" and "Thank you's'"
2. Gifting ourselves a gratitude jar
3. To give gratitude at the start, and ending of our days.
4. To write in a gratitude journal to reflect on our thankfulness.
5. To go on a gratitude nature walk and be mindful of what is around us.
A.L.I.C.E. Training takes place this month.
In November our classes will be learning about ALICE in case of an active shooter in the building. We will discuss what each letter stands for and how to be safe. If you have any questions please reach out.

How Big Is My Problem?
Students will learn about perspective this month. So many times our reaction to a challenge is not equal to what the challenge is. Students will learn about being able to regulate their emotions using coping skills that are equivalent with the size of their problem. We hope this visual helps connect at home what we are doing at school.
