Lost and Found
We have an abundance of clothing in our Lost and Found! Please be sure to ask your child to check the lost and found if they are missing any coats. Any items not picked up before we leave for Spring Break will be donated.
**Please remember that it is always much easier to return coats to children when their name (first and last) is clearly printed on the inside**
Fourth and Fifth Grade Puberty, CSHE, and HIV Lessons
Comprehensive sexual health education is defined in Washington state as instruction about human development and reproduction that takes place over time and is age-appropriate and inclusive of all students. Required instruction for grades 4–5 focuses on helping students understand and respect personal boundaries, develop healthy friendships, and gain a basic understanding of human growth and development. Grade 5 instruction also includes required HIV prevention instruction. To learn more about the curriculum and parent opt out forms, please click the picture that says, "Puberty: the Wonder Years." This will take you to the district website which is filled with information.

Shades of Mad
Kindergarteners have learned about the emotion/feeling of madness and written/drawn their personal connections to this emotion. We will explore this emotion through books, videos and personal thoughts.
1st – 5th grades are learning about the Shades of Mad or different intensities from mild to intense.
1st/2nd –mad—angry—annoyed
3rd/4th—mad—enraged—angry—furious—annoyed
5th— mad—enraged—angry—furious—annoyed—aggressive--terrified
Becoming aware and tuned into our own emotions (how they feel in our bodies—how we think, talk, respond to others when we are feeling them, and how we process in and out of them) can lead us to social, emotional, and physical wellness. 😊
