LUNCH WITH SRO SNODGRASS

            If your child has talked about having lunch with Officer Snodgrass or wants to have lunch with him, have them ask their teacher! Some teachers let their students DoJo shop with SRO lunch being a choice of reward. And some teachers allow their students to have lunch with Office Snodgrass as a reward for doing well in something.

FROM MRS. MUNSON

            Focus of the week: “I will focus on what I can control”. This week, discuss with your students about focusing on the things they can control. When children worry about things outside their control, they can feel anxious or overwhelmed. Helping them notice what is within their control builds confidence, responsibility, and strong social-emotional skills that support learning and friendships. If your child is feeling upset or overwhelmed, try this simple calming activity together. Ask them to name five things they can control, counting on their fingers:

·       My breathing

·       My thoughts

·       My self-talk

·       What I say

·       My body

This quick grounding activity can help children calm their minds and refocus in the moment.

Fun read-aloud to enjoy together this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0NtqRMu01s
