WCSD Summer Newsletter

There are many different ways to check-in with our feelings. At times, a visual tool can help us identify how we are feeling. Take a look at the images below. Which picture matches how you are feeling right now? Once you pick an image, say, “Right now I am feeling _____ and that is OK!” When filling in the blank, you can say the number of the image that matches how you are feeling, or you can pick a word to describe your current emotion.

Check in and CELEBRATE!

Did you know that you can check in on your student’s progress in i-Ready? You can check on the lessons they have passed. How many lessons has your student passed? How did this number change from last week? These questions can be answered by clicking on the “My Progress” arrow at the bottom of the screen. What can you CELEBRATE? You can celebrate that they passed a certain number of lessons or even an increased number of lessons from the previous week.

i-Ready Support

Many family resources can be found at the i-Ready Family Center. If you or your child needs additional support with i-Ready, please feel free contact Sarah Bottomley via email at sbottomley@whittiercity.net .
