Hello Future Stars Families!
It’s hard to believe that it is almost May! Time flies when you are having fun, and we certainly do have a lot of fun at Leeds! During our most recent guidance lessons we learned about careers. Our 5th graders got to try something new when they hosted a career fair for our 4th graders. The 5th grade students worked in pairs to research and create a presentation about a specific career. Then, after weeks of hard work, they got to present their research to the 4th graders. This was an event that was enjoyed by all!
Other topics we learned about this year include, brain science, coping skills, conflict resolution or tattling, and I plan to finish off the year with reflections and creating SMART goals.
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable summer. As always, thank you for sharing your kids with us! We have so much fun here at Leeds!
Mrs. Roskilly
