Cooper Families,


October was a busy month for our Cooper Cubs and November is already starting off great! We had conferences on October 23rd and 28th and our students and staff enjoyed showing you all the amazing work your child has been doing while at school! Our Trunk or Treat & Dance was once again a big hit, and plans are already being made for our next big family night on December 2nd! Please note all of the dates listed above - we have so many awesome things coming up!


Our school days are busy and our After School Program is in full swing as well. Students in the After School Program have had the opportunity to work on some of their academic work and reinforce what they are learning in the classroom. This year we have added in multiple math games and activities for the students to participate in. The After School Program strives to expand opportunities for positive youth development through high quality, affordable academic enrichment and wellness activities outside of the traditional school day. here are some snapshots of the students hard a work and enjoying the program.


Have a great rest of the week!

Kristene Stariha, Principal

Emotions

We are starting our new Unit in Second Step - Emotion Management. Students who can identify their emotions tend to be more socially and emotionally competent. In addition to using situational information, students can also use internal physical clues such as a fast heartbeat or a stomach ache to identify their emotions. Learning to tune in to internal physical clues will prepare students to recognize distressing emotions that might require emotion management. Although it is important for students to be able to tell when they are angry and need to calm down, it is also important for students who have strong emotions that are more internalized, like sadness or worry, to identify their feelings and employ emotion-management skills.

Key concepts students are learning are….

*How to use clues to recognize the feelings of others

*Feelings vary in strength.

*Feelings that are strong need to be managed.

*Physical signs give clues that you are having a strong feeling.

We teach many strategies for managing strong feelings (belly breathing, counting, positive self-talk, mindfulness, talking to an adult, exercising, taking a break, etc.), but the number one strategy we focus on is belly breathing. Belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) helps lower blood pressure and heart rate, which calms the body.
