Jamie our Child Care Worker is coming to Div. 9 for 6 weeks to help the students review and learn 'The Zones of Regulation'. We are focusing on self-regulation and how when we are in the different zones we have a variety of feelings and emotions. Your child has brought home today (instead of their poetry books) what they have done so far. Please have your child explain what the 'Green Zone' means - happy, calm, feeling okay, focused and ready to learn'. They will be exploring their feelings and signs for each of the zones over the next few weeks.
Thanks to everyone who has already sent in earbuds. If you haven't please do so as we have started using them during Reader's Workshop and in the computer lab. Just a reminder that your child can access Raz Kids from home as a alternate source of reading. JRR books were changed this week.
Scholastic book orders were handed out today, they are due back Thursday, Nov. 23rd. This is the last order before Christmas. If you want to have any items for gifts please just indicate on the order form and then I will make sure to give it directly to a parent or hide it in a bag to keep it a secret for Xmas.
