ELC at George Earle Weekly Update

Make sure you check your child's progress as we are halfway through the 2nd quarter already! Below is a breakdown of the goals your child should be working towards achieving. Remember those goals and keep enforcing GRIT!

For Veteran's Day, the ELC taught our students what a Veteran is and how much we appreciate them and their sacrifice. Classes held an observance on Veterans Day where students participated in various activities that help them understand the concept of a soldier and Veteran. Students with Veterans in their family recognized them with a special gift that they made. All students created a craft, watched a video of one of our own Veteran's right here at the ELC, learned a song and listen to a read aloud.

During morning announcements on Kindness Day, Mrs. Gutierrez said the 13th caller to call her office wins the Kindness Basket for World Kindness Day! Mrs. Meyer's class WON!!! They got all new community helper dress up toys. This connects to our writing unit right now of informational writing about community helpers! They had so much fun being extra kind and sharing their new toys!

Miss Kelly and Mrs. Cohen's class turned in the most receipts from Stracks in October and cashed in for a tiny Beanie Baby prize!! Keep sending those receipts in! We can't wait to see what the next prize will be and who will win it!

Did you know that you as parents can nominate a staff member to be recognized as someone who is Being Excellent On Purpose? Dr. Buffington LOVES to know about and celebrate the positive!

If your child isn't feeling well, please keep him or her at home. You must report the absence IN SKYWARD before 10:00AM. There is no need to call the school to let us know. If there are any questions about the absence, we will reach out to you.

Look to your child's teacher for more info on Friendship Day. This is an awesome opportunity for you to be able to volunteer your time to help out with this celebration. Each class will need 6-7 parent volunteers, so if you would like to try to volunteer- make sure you go online and get your background check done no later than November 12th to be approved to help with this fun event.
