Hello Robinwood Families,
This month’s social-emotional learning (SEL) topic is 2nd Step.
2nd Step is the core resource used to teach social-emotional skills to all students 4k-5th grade. There are 3-4 main units of study: Skills for Learning, Empathy, Emotion Management, Friendship and Problem-Solving skills. Please take a few minutes to read over the introductory letter for your child’s grade level. The letters include a “code” for you to carry-over the skills learned at school to home.
4k Letter Kindergarten Letter 1st Grade Letter 2nd Grade Letter
3rd Grade Letter 4th Grade Letter 5th Grade Letter
This core resource also uses common language for: skills for learning, listening, calming down, playing fairly, showing empathy, problem-solving. This language can also be used at home to support these various skills.

Looking forward to another great week of learning and growing with your student!
Warm regards,
Lydia Sesing

TRADITION HERE AT ROBINWOOD
In order to showcase the many cultures that make up our Robinwood Family, we will again be displaying a Cultural Tree in the lobby outside of the library. We are asking interested families to donate a decoration to be placed on the tree. This item can be either purchased or handmade. It should however depict a part of your culture or native country. Please place any decorations in a bag with a note as to what holiday and country they represent. We will then label the items with a tag stating that information. These items will not be returned, they will be kept to be reused in following years.
LOST & FOUND
Please click here to see pictures of the items in our lost and found. We will be purging lost and found items more often so it’s important for children to keep close tabs on their belongings. It is also suggested that if possible, student items be labeled with the first and last name on it so that we can get it back to the student if it becomes lost. All items not picked up after 2 weeks will be donated.

The Forest Park Middle School Drama Club presents the madcap mystery-comedy “Who Killed Elvis?”
When the Verelli family holds an Elvis impersonation contest for their newly renamed business, the “Elvis Ate Here” Inn, a host of star-struck Elvis fanatics shows up with the media in tow.

Order up for one “Heartbreak Hoagie,” some “Love Me Chicken Tenders” and an “All Shook Up Shake,” but who asked for two murders?!
