Washington Elementary School
Message from Mrs. Zeman
Washington Families,
This year is off to a fantastic start! We enjoyed all of the dress up days and homecoming festivities last week, and are kicking learning into high gear now that we have routines in place. In the office, we have had a wonderful time celebrating positive office referrals with many students, and we have nearly filled up our jar for the first time with blue tickets (blue tickets are earned by following the We Are Washington expectations)! We have earned our first school wide celebration and we will be going to the WE ALL PLAY PARK!
One of the skills that we are really working on building-wide is self-regulation. We talk about and practice what it means to be calm, even when things don't go how we want them to go. It is important to have this skill so that everyone in the space can learn at high levels.
Some questions you can ask your students this month are:
- How do we show the skill of self-regulation?
- When is it challenging to show this skill, and how do you overcome that challenge?
- What can you do to earn blue tickets?
Thank you for your ongoing partnership!
Mrs. Zeman
