Happy Friday, McKinley!
I hope each of you had a great American Education Week! You all play such an impactful role for our students. I can't think of a better group of people to work with. I hope you had a week full of support and appreciation!
December 1 Connection Day:
A huge thank you to our 3rd grade team for planning the 12/1 Connection Day!
Inclusive Schools Week:
December 8-12 is Inclusive Schools week. During that week, all four elementary schools will be participating in some opportunties to learn more about inclusion. Linked is our plan for the week. More to come!
Stress Response in Kids:
As we enter into the holiday season, the below graphic is a great reminder for us on all the ways that stress appears in students that may not appear (to an outsider) as "typical" stress. I saw this and was reminded of my (the adult) response. Students may be appearing to show refusal, defiant, or off-task. However, when we think of what is really happening, could it be stress? Personally, when I ground myself in that, I think my response to the situation changes greatly.
