All pieces of the original picture packet must be returned for a student to have their picture retaken. If your student was absent on picture day, please order online using code: EVTTXZ7DN.

ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE – STARTED NOV. 1ST

            Stuff the Tree for Winter Food Drive! The elementary school will be participating in a food drive for the Camanche Food Pantry from November 1st through November 19th 2021. Each class will be participating (including preschool!) and whichever class brings in the most “nuts” (food and/or money) will receive the traveling trophy and a special treat! Each class will have its own box and have a squirrel to watch climbing the tree… No one will know exactly how many each class brings in until the end! Let’s see who can squirrel away the most food in 2021!!!

 

FROM MRS. MUNSON

            Dear Caregivers, The students have been learning: “my body tells me when I am starting to feel a strong emotion”. Often we experience physical sensations that are associated with emotions, and we can learn to recognize our feelings based on our physical symptoms. These sensations can include tightness, numbness, agitation, and nausea. Being mindful of these sensations can help us figure out what we need in order to take care of ourselves. Take a minute, close your eyes and do a quick body scan. Are your muscles tense or relaxed? Are you taking long deep breaths or short shallow breaths? Is your heart racing or beating steady? Our bodies give us lots of clues to how we are feeling. Once we are able to recognize these clues, we can work to name our feelings and find healthy coping strategies. Remember that “all feelings are ok, actions are ok or not ok”! Visit the websites below for more information about feeling emotions in your body and how you can calm them:

Have a great week,

Mrs. Munson
