Red Ribbon Week

This week during Red Ribbon Week, we focused on healthy choices in our class meetings. We talked about things like making healthy choices to keep our bodies strong as well as healthy choices in our friendships and relationships. We also talked about things such as peer pressure, staying drug free, and take care of ourselves. 

On Friday, we had House Meetings, and we focused on Healthy Choices. We talked about different types of health: Mental Health, Dental Health, Physical Health & Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep Health, and Healthy Relationships. Each student set a goal to get even healthier in one of these areas.

Red Ribbon Week

Next week is Red Ribbon Week! This year's national theme for Red Ribbon Week is "Be Happy.  Be Brave.  Be Drug-Free." This will also be our focus for our counselor's next round of guidance lessons and our morning announcements as we promote making healthy life choices. 

To get kids excited about the week, we have themed dress-up days that both our remote and face-to-face learners can participate in. The graphic below includes the information for each day. Please know this is completely optional for kids, and they are able to participate as much or as little as they'd like to. Whether it's finding items around the house to go with the day's dress-up theme or just wearing red, we hope it's a fun week for everyone.

If your child is a virtual learner, please help us by having your child check to be sure he or she is signed in. If a student comes to a Zoom without being signed in, he/she will have to sign in before being let into the Zoom. If you're unsure how to sign in, you can use this presentation to help you. You can also reach out to your teacher to ask for 

help. 

We thought it would be fun to include some student shares about what they enjoyed from the past week. 

"My favorite activity was preparing for the Social Studies debate. We had to listen & read about a Patriot or a Loyalist. Then we use'd that person to get ready for the debate so you can say whether someone else is wrong or you're right. It was fun." -A Face to Face Student in 5D 

"My favorite lesson from this week was Finding Main Ideas in a Text. This is my favorite assignment from this week because, I thought it was fun to read about the different topics. I also liked finding multiple main ideas in my nonfiction book. I thought the Boxes and Bullets strategy was interesting to learn and I thought it really helped me to keep my main ideas organized." -A Virtual Student in 5D 

Seven Habits of Happy Kids

We have continued teaching our kids about the seven habits of happy kids. The fourth habit, Think Win-Win, has already led to some great discussions. As your son/daughter about what it means to Think Win-Win? 

We have also been playing some games in our class meetings so that the kids have a chance to talk and have fun with each other. One of our most popular games so far has been Scattergories. The kids love it! It would make for a great family game, too.

"I like most of the lessons, but I liked the SS breakout on the Zoom and working together. And the math dividing decimals was fun!" -A Face to Face Student in 5C 

"I liked the Social Studies because we really had to think about all the things we learned about to find the clues. On the decimals, I liked that I could learn something kind of challenging but fun, as well as dig farther into the unit. I got to understand more things." -A Virtual Student in 5C 

Students in 5C read a story called, I Am Enough. The kids then designed a page inspired by the book that expresses why they are here and why they are enough. You can see their designs here: https://padlet.com/mnatherson1/5Crocks.
