Principals Notes
Happy Fall Everyone! We are gearing up for a great month of November. We are in the fourth month of school and classes are in the midst of great instruction and learning. I love visiting all of the classrooms and seeing students engaged in fun lessons from burying a pumpkin in Ms. LeCave’s class, to celebrating narrative writing in Ms. Brady’s class to Ms. Holmes and Ms. Ortlinghaus (buddy classes) making new board games. Students are learning and they are excited to come to school! I am excited about the Fall and can’t wait to see all of the learning continue to happen at Jack London Elementary School! Don't forget, Starting November 13th, Kindergarten is released at 1:45 pm!
Pizza With The Principal!
We are having Pizza with the Principal at lunch for grades 1-6 on November 9th. Please make sure your child turns in their 40 paws to the office at recess or lunch time to come to the event! We are having Pizza with the Principal at lunch for Kindergarteners on November 16th.

I wanted to congratulate our newly elected School Site Council Members: Stephanie Frick, Ryan Poole and Jennifer Sanchez.

Toolbox and Restorative Practices
As mentioned last month in our newsletter, we are using Toolbox and Restorative Practices for our social-emotional learning curriculum. For Toolbox, our Student Advisory wrote, directed, and filmed a skit about using the Breathing and Apology/Forgiveness Tool. We are editing it and then will premier it to the whole school. Student Advisory is also working on creating behavior expectations for different areas at our school such as the bathroom and lunch tables then will share them with the school and post them around campus. It is great when students have ownership of their learning and make a difference at their school. We are also using Restorative Practices and here are some of the questions that we ask students if they are having a problem with another student:
-What happened?
-What were you thinking of at the time?
-What have you thought about since?
-Who has been affected by what you have done? In what way?
-What do you think you need to do to make things right?
These questions help us really listen to each student and work on having students think about what happened and how to make things right again. They are great to use at home too! Click HERE to find out more about Toolbox!.
