Happy Friday!

As we move into Spring Break, I want to extend warm wishes for a wonderful week filled with relaxation and fun adventures. I hope this break rejuvenates our students and families alike. Remember, we're back in session on April 1st, although we promise, it's no April Fools' joke! Let's return refreshed and ready for another fantastic spring ahead. Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable break! - Erin🌈

Kindergarten: SS18

In our recent session, students delved into the topic of apologizing and problem-solving

through engaging exercises. By viewing videos depicting real-life scenarios, students were

prompted to analyze conflicts between two individuals. They were then encouraged to

dissect the issues, brainstorm potential solutions, and finally, apply their knowledge through

a role-play activity.

First Grade: SS20

In this session, we built upon our previous lessons centered on problem-solving skills. With

reduced adult support, students demonstrated their learning by proposing solutions to

various challenges. They then independently engaged in brainstorming and illustrating

solutions for a simulated scenario.

Second Grade: SS14

In our recent session, students focused on the topic of empathy, actively brainstorming kind

acts they could perform within their community. Students were then tasked with

independently crafting kindness cards to uplift peers at Kegonsa, fostering empathy and

community.

Third Grade: SS8

In our recent lesson, building upon insights from prior sessions, students delved into the skill

of recognizing the need for breaks when confronting intense emotions. They practiced this

skill through the analysis of hypothetical scenarios, identifying characters' emotions and

determining the necessity of breaks. Students were then tasked with showcasing their

understanding by independently evaluating situations and offering solutions applicable to

their own lives.

Fourth Grade: SS14

In our recent lesson, students explored how understanding others' points of view can

change their own thinking. Through an interactive exercise, students examined a scenario

and fostered introspection through collaborative discussions with peers and through

individual brainstorming.

Fifth Grade: SS13

During our most recent lesson, students delved into the practice of empathy building through

the exploration of perspective. This was facilitated by examining scenarios depicting

individuals impacted by community issues. Through collaborative engagement with peers

and independent reflection, students were prompted to consider various viewpoints

regarding a given problem, fostering a deeper understanding of empathy and its role in

addressing community problems.

Over the last month in PE we have concluded our Jumprope Ninja Unit and are now nearing the end of our basketball unit. Students did a great job showing determination and grit when it came to “leveling up” when earning their Ninja belts (earned by the number of consecutive jumps they could do). We also were able to raise $4,300 in donations for the American Heart Association! Thank you for all of your generous donations!

Our students have also shone brightly on the basketball court as they worked hard on improving their dribbling, passing, and shooting skills!

Next up, ropes and tumbling!
