This and That:
SLGGs: As you all probably remember, we create SLGGs in the fall, do a check-in in the winter, and finalize them in the spring. It is time for our winter check-in.

Hot Cocoa/ Random Acts of Kindness: On Wednesday, Feb 19th, we will have hot cocoa for all students. It is one of the ways we are showing “random acts of kindness” from our school to our students.
- Grades K-2: we will be serving the hot cocoa out at morning recess on Wednesday.
- Grades 3-5: there will be hot cocoa set up in A/B wing from morning until lunch. Feel free to take your class to get it at your convenience.
2/19 SIW Plan: This Wednesday will be “individual time.” We will NOT be pulling together as a staff first.
Relationship, Responsibility and Regulation Quotes:
“If we change our language, we change our outlook. When we are in a negative or stressed state, these are the emotions and behaviors most likely to be portrayed. The opposite is also true!
Instead of, ‘I’ve got so-and-so in my class this year. He was always in the office last year. Great.‘
Try, ‘I know others have struggled with this student in the past. My goal is to give this student a clean slate.‘”
