What are we learning this week?
5th Grade
Unit 2: Emotion Management - Starting Unit 2 Home Link
Lesson 6: Strong Emotions - In this week’s lesson, your child will learn that it’s possible to anticipate recurring situations that cause them to feel strong emotions so they can plan ways to manage those emotions in the future.
Try this at home - Tell your child about a recurring situation in your life that typically causes you to feel a strong emotion, like anger or frustration. Ask your child to tell you about similar situations in their life.
6th Grade
Unit 1: Mindset & Goals
Lesson 6: Monitoring Your Progress - In this week’s lesson, your child will learn strategies for how to stay on track toward their goals. They’ll learn how to monitor their own progress, decide if they need to try new strategies, and determine when their goal is complete.
Try this at home - Ask your child about a goal they’re actively working toward. Ask them if they are encountering any roadblocks and how you can help them determine the next steps forward.
7th Grade
Unit 1: Mindset & Goals
Lesson 6: Overcoming Roadblocks 2 - In this week’s lesson, your child will identify a goal they want to work on, anticipate roadblocks, and develop an If–Then Plan for their own goal.
Try this at home - Think of a time you achieved a big goal, such as learning to drive or graduating from school. Tell your child about your big goal and some of the smaller goals you needed to finish in order to achieve it. Ask your child to tell you about a goal they have.
8th Grade
Unit 1: Mindset & Goals
Lesson 6: My Future Self - In this week’s lesson, your child will imagine who they want to be in the future.
Try this at home - Ask your child what they want their life to look like in the future. What skills or abilities do they want to have? What qualities or values do they want to develop?

Wreath Fundraiser
Candy Drive!
We’re helping the CHHS Student Council to raise candy for their annual Family Halloween Night! Last year over 1,200 people attended this fun community event, and we want to help raise candy for all the kids that come trick or treating through the school.
Our candy drive will run through Friday, October 27. We’re offering our Middle Schoolers a fun grade-level competition to see which grade can bring in the most candy by weight. The winning grade level will receive a special hot cocoa and Rice Krispie treat prize on Halloween!
All candy and/or snacks must be store bought and individually wrapped. Candy can be given to your child’s homeroom teacher.
Thank you for helping to make Family Halloween Night the best one ever!
