Barnes & Noble
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our Barnes & Noble Book Fair! It was such a wonderful community event and we had a special treat hearing from teachers read their favorite children's books. Fifth Grade Chorus did an outstanding job of performing some of their favorite holiday songs for us as well. Thank you everyone!

December SEL Spotlight
(Social Emotional Learning)
The following five SEL competencies include suggestions for how families and school staff can support the development of skills at home and at school:
During the month of December counselors will be teaching lessons to all grade levels that focus on relationship skills, specifically kindness and friendship. Families can support this effort by continuing the discussion at home.
Some great questions to ask to ask around the dinner table:
- Tell me about someone who made you feel special today.
- How did you make someone feel special today?
- What makes someone a good friend?
- Who is someone you admire at school and why?
Books to read at home that support the topic of friendship:
I Am Human by Susan Verde
Have You Filled a Bucket Today? By Carol McCloud
The Kindness Quilt by Nancy Wallace
How to Lose All Your Friends by Nancy Carlson
Making Friends is an Art by Julia Cook
Love Monster and the Last Chocolate by Rachel Bright
Jessica’s Box by Peter Carnavas
Louise and Andie: The Art of Friendship by Kelly Light
Classes will also be reviewing Zones of Regulation, which help kids identify their feelings and strategies.
