Hello and I hope it has been a wonderful week,

PreK and Kinder learned about persistence power and middle school learned how to identify and cope with test anxiety . Next week PreK and Kinder will learn about resilience and middle school will begin to think about career pathways.

This week's Leader in Me exercises is a parent overview of habit one and how to implement the habits in fun exercises.

Have a restful weekend!

In Pathways to Independent Learning, students are given tools and strategies to take charge of the learning process. They will be able to take full responsibility for choosing effective approaches to long-term learning. Students need the skills and strategies of independent learning to excel in any learning environment or situation. Research has proven that facility and practice of executive functioning skills and critical thinking is a greater predictor of student success than IQ. Students who develop the skills of independent learning are better able to adapt and succeed when they encounter obstacles.

Registration for the Typhoon Texas Kids triathlon registration is open. We have created a St. Theresa team for everyone who would like to participate and 10% of the entry fee will be donated back to the school for every kid who joins. The race is super fun (and super safe...they swim in a lazy river and have plenty of volunteers on the course). The kids also get an entry to Typhoon Texas with their race fee that they can use that day or anytime over the summer.

There is a Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14 option. Most of the St. Theresa kids will race on Sunday.

Is your child interested in participating but never done a triathlon, no worries! We will plan to hold some clinics in February and March to teach the kids the basics. Please contact Christy Lan at bohannon5@hotmail.com with any questions.
