Happy New School Year!
Parents and Important Grownups, Welcome back to school! We're happy to see your students, and we're excited about the new year that stretches before us! I'm excited about getting to know all the students and helping them learn and grow. Speaking of learning and growing, we, teachers, know that learning works best when the new things we learn are supported in many settings. That's why I want to keep you posted on what our social-emotional lessons are about throughout the year. When I first started several years ago, I tried relaying that info home to parents through take-home letters, but that took a lot of paper. I tried writing school newsletter articles, but the articles ended up being too long for a newsletter. So now, I would like to try writing a blog. In this blog, I'll highlight what I am teaching in my school-wide social emotional lessons. I will also have some tips of things you can do at home with your student to encourage them to use these skills. Plea
