3rd grade is learning a new pitch.
4th grade is learning how to read the staff, and learning how to play their first song on the recorder.

Guidance
This coming week in Guidance, students will be learning about Conflict Resolution. This skill is so important as a life skill, a school skill, and a home skill. The students will be having discussions, listening to books, playing games on Quaver, and learning about how to utilize Conflict Resolution. The students in SALT will have an extension of weeks since we have had the snow/ice weather days interrupt their SALT duties. Thanks for your support, parents! Looking forward to seeing the students soon!
Your Proud Prestwick Counselor,
Mrs. Burrell

Thank you to our awesome Lobo 3rd-5th graders for your participation with our guest author, Nancy Churnin last Friday! The students loved her presentation and she was very impressed with their desire to show kindness to others.
