Tuesday, February 10 from 4:00-7:30 - Staff Requested

The second night will be an open house format, providing an opportunity for any parent or guardian to drop in and hear about their child's progress in individual team member classrooms.

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

Our classes raced to have 10 days of 95% or greater attendance to build their snowman. Many classes were very close to finishing their build.

ACES

In ACES class, our school will be learning more about their brains and how emotions affect behavior. We’ll explore the concept of “Flipping Your Lid,” learning about the different parts of the brain and what happens when strong emotions take over. Students will practice calming strategies they can use at school and at home to help themselves reset and refocus.

Random Acts of Kindness Week is February 14–20! Students are encouraged to spread kindness through small, thoughtful actions that help make our school a positive and caring community.

Letter Focus: O for Others

Ask your student to show you how to spot when their “lid” is flipping—and which calming strategy works best for them!

PE

February is an exciting month for many reasons! Starting next week, we will be kicking off the Kids Heart Challenge! If you are not familiar with this project, it is a great opportunity for your learner to focus on their heart health during PE with some awesome fitness stations we will be doing together. If your family chooses to participate in the fundraising, below is more information for you and your family to look at to decide if you would like to complete Finn's mission to become a heart hero! I will be providing more information to your child next week as well.

Throughout the lessons, students will be learning about heart health and life lessons from our amazing heart heroes, like staying active, being kind, resting well, and knowing when to ask for help.

Any student who completes Finn’s Mission before our kick off day will be awarded a green super hero cape and a Limited-Edition Super Victor Pup during the kickoff.

BONUS: Every student who signs up will get a free wristband!

On top of it being heart month, the winter Olympics begin this month, so we will be exploring the exciting landscape of the winter games and get a chance to learn about some of the events and we will also have stations that will be inspired by some of them that you can watch on TV!

Music

In general music we are wrapping up our instrument review as well as our formal introduction to the ukulele. We will begin concert preparation in February as we learn about our songs and how to use proper technique when singing. Elementary festival honors choir students will have their concert on February 12th at the SDSU Performing Arts Center- this is a free concert that starts at 4:45pm that day.

Library

During February, we will be learning about the Biography genre. We will read a few biography books, learn what makes a book a biography and be able to search for them in our library catalog as well as locate them on our library shelves.

Art

Artist are continuing to work on their quarter 3 wow pieces. Mid February we will be diving into our Fiber Arts Center. We will start out using yarn to make friendship bracelets and then move onto weaving. Artist will learn how to make a cardboard loom, how to put the warp thread onto their loom, and then we will learn some different ways of weaving our yarn into beautiful masterpieces.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 5! 🗓️ Families are invited to join our friends at SmartSocial for a Roblox & Minecraft Safety Night.
