Mr. Smith's Scoop π¦
Happy Friday!
It was another great week at Camelview. Our littlest learners are working hard to learn all their phonics skills so they can become strong readers, and to increase their number sense so that they become great mathematicians. Our older learners are working hard on multiplication, division, and their application in real-life. They are also working on central ideas and points of view in reading. Itβs awesome to see and hear all they are learning.
Today was our Student of the Month Lunches. Congratulations to the students recognized this month. Thank you to all the families that were able to join for lunch and help us celebrate these students.
With Thanksgiving next week I want to wish you and your family Happy Thanksgiving & thank you for choosing Madison Camelview. As a reminder, if you have a staff member that you would like to send a βthank youβ to, an Awesome Award is a great way to do it. You can send an Awesome Award through the following link: https://www.madisonaz.org/families/family-resources/awesome-award-nomination
Have a wonderful weekend.

What a week! Hero Night was a blast, Panda Express was delicious, Spirit week was so fun, a teacher appreciation breakfast was appreciated, a bookfair that was a delight, and a quick coffee chat was informative! WHEW!
In case you missed it, our holiday shop this year is going to be AMAZING! Our team has been working since January to make sure it is the best one yet, but we need your help! Please consider signing up to help. It is a very fun volunteer opportunity, and if you canβt help the whole shift, just note it in the notes! Thank you for your help! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F44A4AC23A6FEC34-46045524-holiday
If we all volunteer once we can make a PAWSitively powerful difference for our CUBS!

Building Emotional Intelligence with RULER
Have you heard of RULER? Itβs a powerful framework that helps us understand, use, and manage our emotions effectively. As a school, We are excited to share how RULER is helping our students develop crucial social and emotional skills.
What is RULER?
RULER is an acronym for:
- Recognizing our emotions
- Understanding our emotions
- Labeling our emotions
- Expressing our emotions
- Regulating our emotions
By teaching students these skills, we empower them to:
- Build stronger relationships
- Improve academic performance
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Make better decisions
- Resolve conflicts peacefully
RULER is being integrated into our school culture through:
- Classroom lessons: Teachers incorporate RULER into their lessons to teach students about emotions and how to manage them.
- Social-emotional learning activities: Students participate in activities that help them practice RULER skills, such as mindfulness exercises, role-playing, and group discussions.
- Positive behavior interventions and supports: RULER is used to teach students positive behavior strategies and to address challenging behavior.
By fostering emotional intelligence, weβre creating a more positive and supportive learning
environment for all students.
Fresh News from the Cafeteria!
π Got a Birthday Coming Up? Purchase a Birthday Box! π
Our cafeteria can provide birthday boxes at a very low cost. This reduces the impact on classroom learning time (every minute counts), reduces the likelihood of ants in classrooms and creates a fun celebration during lunch times. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tkA7cxvKb4gCb7RDTtE2mxsgSZzxXMui/view?usp=sharing
If you have any questions please contact Valerie, our kitchen manager at vmartinez@madisoned.org!
