Hello Las Positas Lions,

Can you believe it? We're down to the final countdown with just TWO weeks left of this school year! 🎉⏳ Let's give a huge round of applause to each and every one of our incredible students for their hard work and dedication during the recent state testing. 🌟 Your effort and perseverance truly shone through, and we couldn't be prouder! 🙌👏

Now, as we approach the finish line, it's more important than ever to keep that energy up and finish strong! 💪✨ Remember, every day counts, so let's keep the momentum going by showing up to school with big smiles and eager minds. 🏫😊

Let's make these last two weeks absolutely unforgettable! 🚀 Let's cherish every moment, celebrate our achievements, and make memories that will last a lifetime! 🎉💫 So gear up, fuel up, and let's rock these final days together! 🎸

This month we will continue to focus on the IB Learner Profiler REFLECTIVE

If you see your students in action as a risk-taker, post it on X, instagram, or facebook and tag us #LasPositasLions. Let us know with a proof of picture and we will give your child a pride ticket.

Have a lovely weekend!

Being Reflective

How can parents help to develop students who are reflective at home?

Have your child stop and think throughout the day about their behaviors. Assist him/her with focusing on the following prompts:

~Is what I'm doing appropriate? If so, explain why it is. If not, explain how it is not.

~How can I change my behavior? Have your child think of positive ways to make changes.

~Is the situation I am in a positive situation? If not, how can I make it a positive situation?

~Am I doing my best? Am I working my hardest?

Parents can model the above thinking process by talking aloud to themselves, ask and answer yourself these questions about things you are doing throughout your day. This way your child sees you working through the Reflection process, and can use your examples as their models to learn from.

* Model how to make mistakes, how to fail. And then, how to pick yourself up and dust yourself off. It's okay to make mistakes, making mistakes is part of learning. Being Reflective teaches us how to grow and learn from both mistakes and from positive experiences.
