Principal's Corner:
Dear Parents,
Lenski hosted a KIDPOWER workshop in April. This parent-child workshop allowed a number of students in grades K-5 to learn everyday safety skills through an interactive approach. Parents and children role-played scenarios together, which allowed them to continue to practice newly learned skills at home.
Some of the topics covered in the four hour/two night event included how to:
- recognize and avoid potential danger
- deal with bullies
- set emotional boundaries
- move with awareness and confidence
- tell an adult and get help if needed
We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants and will offer the workshop again in Spring 2019. For more detailed information on KIDPOWER please visit www.kidpowercs.org.
Sincerely,
Dr. Barbara DeSpain
B3:
We had a very successful year with B3 tickets and we look forward to continue B3 tickets next year. Look for an exciting 2018-2019 in PBIS!
Second Step:
Our Second Step program is slowly coming to an end. Please continue to practice your problem-solving skills over the summer. Here is a fun link to the STEPproblem-solving song. See you next year!
In Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 3rd Grade we are learning about solving problems using the STEP process.- 2nd graders talked about how we can have strong feelings when we make mistakes and how important it is to calm down using belly-breathing, counting, or positive self-talk.
- 4th graders is using the STEP process to more effectively solve playground problems and for everybody to take responsibility for their own actions.
- In 5th grade we discussed how to deal with gossip and peer pressure using the problem-solving steps we learned.
