3rd Grade Lesson

Third grade students played character bingo as a way to explore positive character traits.  Below is the newsletter that I sent home.

4th Grade Lesson

Fourth graders explored differences of others.  They partnered with another person in class to discuss what they had in common and what their differences were.  They had a great time getting to know someone better in their class.  Here is the newsletter that was sent home.

5th Grade Lesson

This week my 5th graders learned about positive self-talk.  I often worry about kiddos with all of the advertisements out there.  Kids are bombarded with images of "perfect" people.  Too often, children are faced with growing up feeling that they don't quite measure up.  I hope that this lesson at least gets them to think about the positive qualities that they possess.  I have attached the newsletter that I sent home with each student.

Motor Lab

Thanks to the help of a few district Physical Therapists, our Ready Bodies Learning Minds motor lab is up and going! We are so excited about all of the positive benefits for our students! We are hoping to see an increase in task focus, hand-eye coordination, reading comprehension, motor strength, and overall academic success. Stay tuned for updates as we explore this program!
