Happy Holly Homecoming!

It has been a fun week at Davisburg! With Spirit Days and a Pep Rally with the Holly High School Band and Football team, everyone is filled with joy. We hope to see you at the Homecoming Parade today. Please remember that students must have an adult present to walk in the parade.

It happens at this time every year, the mornings are cool and the afternoons are warm. This is wonderful for afternoon recess! However, it also leads to a very full lost and found! Your child may not have even mentioned that his/her hoodie, jacket or sweater are missing. While you are in the building for conferences, please take a look at the lost and found items.

Have you signed up for Parent-Teacher Conferences yet? If you are unable to physically attend, there are still options. Please reach out to your child’s teacher about this great opportunity to celebrate your child and plan for next steps.

Truly,

Denise Kott

Leader in Me

The Leader in Me helps students learn so many things! For example: how to become self-reliant, take initiative, plan ahead, set and track goals, prioritize their time, be considerate of others, express their viewpoint persuasively, resolve conflicts, find creative solutions, value differences, and live a balanced life. The process helps students develop the skills and self-confidence they need to lead their lives and succeed in school and beyond.

The Leader in Me is directly aligned with the CASEL Core Competencies. What are core competencies? Core competencies are the specific skills, habits and mindsets that help students manage their emotions, feel and show empathy, establish and maintain supportive relationships and make responsible decisions.

The Core Competency that is the focus for October is Self Management. Self Management includes managing emotions, thoughts and behavior. It also includes setting and monitoring goals. Sounds a lot like using the Zones of Regulation and Being Proactive, right?

Practicing Self Management at home:

Plenty of popular children’s games can teach children how to regulate their behaviors. Play any of these well-known games that model self-management:

Musical Chairs
Follow the Leader
Simon Says

After playing, discuss what your child learned about listening and being respectful to others.
