May Newsletter

This month I will be visiting grades K-2 with counseling lessons.

Kindergarten

Kindergarten students will complete their Unit on the 3 Rs. This month students will learn about the “secret” 4th R, Resilience. We will read a Winnie the Pooh book, “Try, Try Again.” Students will show ways they can try, try again.

1st Grade

First graders will finish their unit on character traits with the book, “I Like Myself!” by Karen Beaumont. Students will then identify the qualities they like about themselves.

2nd Grade

Second grade will complete The Zones of Regulation unit. Students will finish building their toolboxes to help them with emotional regulation.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about counseling lessons or needs you or your child may have. I can be contacted by calling the front office or emailing me at stacykurthford@carrollk12.org.

Teacher Appreciation Week

We would like to thank the dedicated teachers at Ebb Valley Elementary for setting the students on their path to success and all they do for fellow staff members on a daily basis.

National School Nurse Day

National School Nurse Day is Wednesday, May 7th. We are very proud and fortunate to have Jen Devers as our School Nurse. We thank her for her dedication to the students and staff of Ebb Valley!

Field Day

Dear EVE Parents/Guardians,

We are excited to announce that Field Day is fast approaching! It will take place on Friday, May 16th, and we wanted to share some important information and procedures to ensure everything runs smoothly.

STUDENT NEEDS:

· Tennis shoes, water bottle (water only), towel

· Students can wear their Fun Run shirt or a shirt that same color (color & grade pictured above).

Please Park along one side Swiper and in the staff parking lot. The bus loop will be closed past the cones.
Additional parking can be found by the dirt road on the Ebb Valley sign side.

At the check-in table, you will receive a visitor sticker, and we will provide you with a map and schedule for the day.
