Our next Leader in Me focus is Habit 6: Synergize. Our next awards assembly on March 21st we will recognize students who synergize!

People who synergize understand that everyone has unique talents and that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. They also work together to arrive at new and better alternatives.

Kid Language

Together Is Better: I value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people’s ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble.

Ways to practice Synergize:

• Write down three things that you’re really good at. Then write down three things that someone else you know is good at.
• Watch your favorite sports team play a game. Pay extra attention to how all of the players work together as a team.
• This summer put up a lemonade stand with your friends. One person can create a poster, one can make the lemonade, and one can set up the table and bring the cups and ice. Have fun!

• Nursing & Wellness is announcing the launch of a new resource for students, staff and families offering information and connections to community, health and district resources

• This linked communication will be going out to all staff and families

• Resources to promote the hotline on your campus, school websites, and social media can be found here

• Health & Wellness Hotline, 760-334-7878, is open Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. Closed on District holidays.

The SDUSD Counseling Department has shared a few resources and tools to assist students and families with managing their emotions, feelings, and stress. This first resource is the SDUSD Virtual Calming Room.

Jerabek Library School Wide Reading Program 2024

Students receive a tracking bookmark during Library Time. Students log their reading time on the bookmarks by coloring:

One spot marker for each 30 minutes read (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5thgraders)

Or . . . One spot marker for every 2 books read (TK, K, 1stgraders).

Color all 24 markers then turn the bookmark in to the library. Students’ reading journey will be tracked on the library bulletin board with a name badge and as they progress through the bookmark journey (a yellow compass, a blue tent and a green mountain).

The School Wide Reading Program runs through the Friday before Spring Break (March 29, 2024).

Reminders:

- Program starts on student’s library day during the week of January 16th – January 19th, 2024.

- Program ends on student's library day during the week of March 25-29, 2024, (10 weeks).

- Students should read age-appropriate books.

- Adults must verify the time read by signing student’s bookmark before the students turns it in.

- Prizes and new tracking bookmarks are ONLY given out during the student’s library time.

The Family Faculty Organization of Jerabek Elementary School, or FFO, is an organization similar to a PTA, made up of parents, community members, and staff who work together to provide students with added enrichment to their existing curriculum. Everyone who has a child at Jerabek is automatically a member of the FFO.
