Thankful Thoughts
From our family to yours, have a happy Thanksgiving. We look forward to seeing you and our students when we return on Monday, November 29th.
“The heart that gives thanks
is a happy one,
for we cannot feel
thankful and unhappy
at the same time.”
- Douglas Wood
Safety Drills Recap
Shortly after the conclusion of the Secure Campus drill, we conducted a fire safety drill. We were able to match our full drill runtime of last month at seven minutes! All students were safely evacuated in five minutes! Awesome job Falcons!
Preventing November Break Brain Drain
Raz-Kids or Headsprout - This is the reading software purchased by the site to accelerate student literacy skills. Twenty minutes per day will do the trick to keep those skills moving forward. Your student has access through clever.com.
ST Math - This is our district-wide math software with the iconic penguin. Ten-fifteen minutes per day on this will help solidify the conceptual math foundational skills. Students also access ST Math through clever.com
If you want to stray away from screen-time, encourage your student to keep a daily journal of one thing that made them happy or one thing they're thankful for each day and why. They can even write a letter to themselves to read at the end of the year. What are their goals, fears, hopes, and what's their plan to achieve? A free-write about whatever's on their mind, a stream of consciousness, is also really fun to read as well.
Another idea to stay offline is to do your own science experiments! Check out this link for 55 great ideas: https://www.weareteachers.com/easy-science-experiments/
Keep those brains happy with knowledge and learning!

Report an Absence Online
Although we want students to be in school each day for class, we know that absences will happen. It is important that parents report their student's absence within 24 hours. Absences can be reported via our online form, phone or email. Please let us know if you have any questions and thank you for your support.
