Counselors' Corner
Dear Teachers,
As always, thank you for your continued support and flexibility. Just a few quick reminders. Please remember that if a student has a note or asks to speak with the counselor, please allow them to bring their note to the counselor or call to see if the counselor is available. Also remember that students are usually coming to speak to us about personal or private matters and we want to honor that and keep things confidential. If there is something that we feel would be in the students' best interest for you to know, we will come and talk with you about it. Lastly, don't forget about your calm down kits in the classroom! Our hope is that you are utilizing them to allow students to calm down so that they may remain in class and not miss important information. As always, we are here for you and our students and want to hear if there is ever anything that we can do for you. We hope you have a fantastic weekend, full of rest and self care! Ruth, Angela, and Elizabeth
Math
Have you seen the First in Math wall? There are so many kids who have earned 500+ stickers. If you send home a newsletter, encourage parents to have students play a few minutes at home if possible. This is a great opportunity for practice on basic skills. We would love to have all of our students on the wall.
Literacy Corner
Thanks to everyone for submitting the information needed to order your classroom library books. I am in the process of submitting the orders for those who gave a list of specific titles. For those who filled out the form describing your classroom library needs, you will receive a list sometime in the next week or so. You will be asked to review and edit or approve the list. The goal is to get this order completed by the end of the month.
