Our Learning Community...
For many this time of year is the season of giving thanks and a reminder to practice gratitude. According to the research, actively and intentionally practicing gratitude does the following:
- Helps us cope with stress
- Regulates our emotions
- Makes us happier
- Improves our health (mental and physical)
- Nurtures relationships
- Activates learning
At school, we are introducing new Dolphin Pride tickets. These Dolphin Pride tickets are our way of celebrating the big and small accomplishments of our students. As a site, we want to collectively notice and name when we see/hear students making a SPLASH. A student can earn a ticket at any time by any staff member! Tickets can be turned in for a classroom incentive or for a school wide incentive of a chance to pick from the Dolphin Treasure chest.
If you would like some ideas for home, here is a link to Practicing Gratitude as a Family.
At this time of year we are especially grateful that you and your family are a part of the Jones community. We hope you had a joyful week and look forward to seeing you Monday morning!
