Toy/Gift Card Drive

Our district partners with Security Fire Department each year for a toy/gift card drive. These items are given to families in our community that are in need. We will be collecting gift cards for teenagers and new, unwrapped toys for elementary aged students beginnning November 27. To help raise funds for gift cards, students can wear a hat for one dollar for every day of the week of December 4-8. For example, if a student would like to wear a hat everyday for the whole week, it would be $5. Students who wish to participate in wearing a hat will need to provide a cash donation to their teacher the day of participation.

Mrs. Elliott’s student group for those that have a parent deployed or away for extended

training have met weekly for first semester, focusing on coping strategies and support for one

another. The first semester group will wrap up before Christmas break, and new groups will

form for second semester. If you are interested in having your student be involved in a military

group, please reach out to Mrs. Elliott at elliotts@wsd3.org. Permission slips will go home when

students return in January from the holiday break.

Guidance/SEL Lessons:

The social-emotional lesson topic for November was Identifying and Solving problems. All grade levels discussed possible sizes of a problem and how we should think of multiple options to pick the best solution. Grades K-1 reviewed Kelso's Choices; grades 2-3 discussed multiple levels of problems and how we react to them; grades 4-5 practiced thinking of multiple solutions to a problem.

The lesson topic for December will be motivation/perseverance.

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports):

The Holidays can be stressful! Our PBIS team would like to share an awesome resource that includes strategies for success with your children over the holidays. Please CLICK HERE for that resource.

Happy Holidays!!

• Read with your child everyday.

• For younger children, read a book where the print is large, point word by word as you read. This will help the child learn that reading goes from left to right and that the word he or she says is the word he or she sees.

• Read a child's favorite book multiple times.

• Discuss unfamiliar words.

• Ask questions as you read the story or have them retell the story to you.

• Read from a variety of books, including fairy tales, poems and informational books. Source: fldoe.org
