Week 2!
How much do you love your school?
September: Empathy
Dear Lion Cub Families,
Welcome to week two! The energy and excitement on campus are incredible as our students continue to settle into their new classrooms and routines. It has been a joy to see them reconnect with friends and form new bonds with their teachers and classmates.
This week, we are excited to officially launch our "Capturing Kids' Hearts" program! This unique initiative is designed to build positive relationships between students and staff, fostering a safe, respectful, and encouraging learning environment for everyone. Through CKH, we are focusing on:
Relationship-Driven Classrooms: Teachers are using specific techniques to build trust and rapport, making students feel known, valued, and respected.
Social-Emotional Growth: We're helping students develop crucial life skills like empathy, self-management, and responsible decision-making.
Shared Ownership: Students are empowered to take an active role in their learning environment, contributing to a classroom community where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
You may hear your child talk about a "Good Things" moment from their day or about their class's "Social Contract." These are key components of the CKH program that help us start each day positively and hold ourselves accountable to a shared set of expectations. We encourage you to ask your child about these and share your own "Good Things" from your week!
In addition to our CKH launch, our students are diving deeper into their academic subjects. Be sure to check with your child about their learning this week and keep an eye out for any information from their teacher about upcoming projects or events.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for entrusting us with your children. It's going to be a fantastic year, and we are so grateful to have you as a part of our school community.
Warmly,
Ms. Fonville and Dr. Evans
¡Bienvenidos a la segunda semana!
La energía y la emoción en el campus son increíbles, ya que nuestros estudiantes continúan adaptándose a sus nuevas aulas y rutinas. Ha sido una alegría verlos reconectarse con sus amigos y formar nuevos lazos con sus maestros y compañeros de clase.
Esta semana, estamos muy contentos de lanzar oficialmente nuestro programa «Capturing Kids' Hearts» (Capturando los corazones de los niños). Esta iniciativa única está diseñada para construir relaciones positivas entre los estudiantes y el personal, fomentando un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro, respetuoso y alentador para todos. A través de CKH, nos enfocamos en:
Aulas impulsadas por las relaciones: los maestros utilizan técnicas específicas para generar confianza y rapport, haciendo que los estudiantes se sientan conocidos, valorados y respetados.
Crecimiento socioemocional: ayudamos a los alumnos a desarrollar habilidades fundamentales para la vida, como la empatía, la autogestión y la toma de decisiones responsables.
Responsabilidad compartida: se empodera a los alumnos para que desempeñen un papel activo en su entorno de aprendizaje, contribuyendo a una comunidad en el aula en la que todos sientan que pertenecen a ella.
Es posible que su hijo le hable de un momento «bueno» de su día o del «contrato social» de su clase. Estos son componentes clave del programa CKH que nos ayudan a comenzar cada día de manera positiva y a responsabilizarnos de un conjunto de expectativas compartidas. ¡Le animamos a que le pregunte a su hijo sobre estos temas y comparta sus propias «cosas buenas» de la semana!
Además del lanzamiento de CKH, nuestros alumnos están profundizando en sus materias académicas. Asegúrense de hablar con sus hijos sobre lo que han aprendido esta semana y estén atentos a cualquier información que les faciliten sus profesores sobre los próximos proyectos o eventos.
Gracias por su continua colaboración y por confiarnos a sus hijos. Va a ser un año fantástico y estamos muy agradecidos de que formen parte de nuestra comunidad escolar.
Atentamente,
Sra. Fonville y Dra. Evans
💙Capturing Kids' Hearts 💙
We are now a Capturing Kids Hearts School. The primary focus of Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) is to develop healthy relationships between all members of the school community. CKH is a framework that helps good teachers become better by equipping them with tools with which they can build meaningful relationships with their students, provide a safe environment in which students want to learn, and develop a dialogue for team-building. Teachers utilizing the CKH framework are dedicated to building classrooms where trust, respect, and caring relationships flourish. We are committed to implementing these processes at HRE.
Outcomes
The use of CKH helps to improve the school climate by:
★ Developing safe, trusting, & self-managing classrooms.
★ Improving classroom attendance by building students’ motivation and helping them take responsibility for their actions and performance.
★ Decreasing negative behaviors such as: disruptive outbursts, violent acts, bullying, and other risky behaviors.
★ Developing students’ empathy for diverse cultures and backgrounds.
EXCEL Model
The EXCEL Model helps teachers to effectively impact their students each time they come together.
★ Engage: Students are greeted with eye contact and a sincere welcome.
★ X-plore: Teachers listen and attend to the personal, emotional, and academic needs of our students.
★ Communicate: Teachers communicate care as well as content.
★ Empower: Teachers empower students to gain the ability to "use and do" the things they have been taught.
★ Launch: Deals with how we "end and send" our students into the world. The purpose is to start our students on a course of action by ending our classes on a powerful note.
CKH Classroom Culture
Teachers demonstrate social behaviors that build relationships with others, such as greeting each student at the door every day, listening and understanding.
Teachers begin the class everyday with “Good Things” (Asking students to share good things that happened since the last time the class met).
The Social Contract
The students and teachers write the contracts together.
They discuss priorities and decide how they should treat each other.
The contract prevents discipline from becoming personal when students misbehave.
