The Greendell Gosling Flyer-18th Ed
December 16, 2020
Dear Greendell Families,
Our last day of school before winter break is this Friday, which is a minimum day. There is a lot excitement in our classes as we wrap up the year and the children finish their winter art projects and activities.
My wish for our families and staff is that you are able to connect with loved ones, celebrate family traditions and stay safe and healthy! It may not look the same but it is so important for us all to have time with our families and friends, even if it is over a video chat.
I think we are all ready for the new year to begin. I look forward to welcoming everyone back to school in 2021!
Wishing you all a lovely winter break with your families!
Principal Shannon

Supporting Learning at Home: Fostering Independence
The pandemic has highlighted the importance of developing independence in learning, and that’s not always easy. The new PAUSD website, Supporting Learning at Home, includes a module focused on fostering independence. As children grow and mature, we can foster independence by allowing children to make choices, learn from them, experience failure and success and develop the resiliency they require to tackle any of life's challenges and obstacles. This module provides tips for families when encouraging independent thinking.
Wonderful Winter Art from Our Fours Class!
