A Message to our Bears...
Primary Bears,
As we head into Thanksgiving vacation, we pause to say Thank You! We are blessed with an amazing community, wonderful students, and hardworking teachers and staff.
Since March 2020, our educators, parents, and students have been handed so many different challenges, changes, and unknowns. We appreciate your continued support and faith in our school. It truly "takes a village" and we are so thankful for our village.
In this edition, we highlight some of the wonderful things we are thankful for!
Have a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving. We will see everyone back on November 30.
Sincerely,
Shelley Keck

Social Emotional Lessons
The Second Step theme for all grade levels right now is emotion management. We are prompting students to notice their own feelings by paying attention to clues in their bodies, and we’ll be reminding them to use their Second Step skills to calm down:
Stop—Use your signal
Name your feeling
Calm down: Breathe, count, use positive self-talk
These skills help students calm down strong emotions when faced with learning and social challenges, which helps them succeed academically and get along well with others.
