Monroe Elementary News
September 30, 2022
From the Principal
Something new to Monroe Elementary but not to Jonathan Alder is daily fitness classes for our students. Plain City Elementary has incorporated daily fitness in the last several years. I have included pictures below. There is extensive research supporting an increased heart rate and academic success in the classroom. At Monroe Elementary, we have started trying this concept with our 3rd grade students. Our PE teacher, Cris Janda, provides daily fitness instruction to our third grade students. The third grade students wear a heart monitor watch to track their heart rates and work to get into the "green zone" during their 20 minute fitness time.
Today, the fourth grade students spent time at the "Think Big Space." This is at Jonathan Alder High School. They learned about heat and how to heat transfer. There were 6 different stations that they rotated through. I have included pictures below. They finished their time off with a slice an apple pie representing how heat transfers when it is cooking.
Have a great weekend!

Positive Parenting Program (Triple P)
Raising children isn’t always easy. Would you like to feel less stressed and feel confident that you are raising happy, confident kids?
The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is designed to help parents set their own goals, become confident in their ability to manage parenting issues, and become self-sufficient problem solvers. This program is for parents and caregivers of children 0 to 12 years old and helps parents manage behavior and address problem behaviors. Perhaps it’s your toddler’s supermarket meltdowns… or nightly bedtime battles with your daughter… or your son’s disobedience or aggression. We give tips on how to settle the problem – quickly and calmly!
We won’t tell you how to parent. But we will give you simple, practical strategies you can adapt to suit your family’s values, beliefs and needs. Because we know happier families lead to better relationships… and successful kids! Sign up for small group discussions or one-on-one parenting support by phone on a wide variety of topics for parents and caregivers of young children, including:
- Dealing with Disobedience
Get tips on how to get kids to listen and follow directions—and what to do when they don’t. - Hassle-Free Shopping with Children
