FROM MRS. MUNSON

            Our students have been doing awesome at using their Big Deals, Little Deals strategies to help with problem solving. They are still learning these important skills and sometimes need extra help and support in this area. When that happens we have been using restorative justice circles to help them collaboratively solve problems, take responsibility, and encourage our caring community here at CES. It is in this safe and supportive space that students have done amazingly at having very constructive conversations. For more information on restorative justice and how you can incorporate it at home visit: https://www.parenttoday.org/bringing-the-lessons-of-restorative-justice-home/

 

Have a great three-day weekend!

Mrs. Munson
