5th Grade
Unit 2: Emotion Management
Lesson 7: What is Stress? - In this week’s lesson, your child will identify signs of stress, situations that can cause them to feel stress, and strategies they can use to manage feelings of stress.
Try this at home - Ask your child what their body feels like when they’re stressed and what things cause them to feel stress. Share your own experiences with stress and what you do to manage it.
6th Grade

Lesson 7: Bringing It All Together - In this week’s lesson, your child will bring it all together and create an action plan to help them accomplish one of the goals they chose at the beginning of the unit.
Try this at home - Ask your child what their goal is, how they broke it down into smaller goals, and their plans for achieving it. Discuss how you can support them if things at home or in school slow them down or stand in their way and about how you can celebrate when they achieve their goal.
7th Grade

Lesson 7: Advice on Roadblocks - In this week’s lesson, your child will put their knowledge about overcoming roadblocks into action by giving advice to a sixth-grader who is struggling to learn something new.

Some Recent Shout-Outs
Mr. Tramper - 6th grade ELA and 8th grade Digital Media teacher
"Mr. Tramper has been outstanding! It is great to have a teacher that chooses to communicate with parents at least once a week. He takes the time to make sure parents know what is going on in his classes, what each student should be working on and when tests are. He has even made time for one on ones’s with each student as he teaches them new things about writing. It is great to finally have a teacher who seems passionate about what he does and takes the time to have open communication with parents. Thank you Mr. Tramper!"
Ms. Bass - Band and Orchestra Director
"She does a good job at teaching band, conducting and choosing music for the band to play. She also can be funny and strict when need be."
