EASTER CELEBRATION, FRIDAY, MARCH 30
"Sometimes we feel good, and sometimes we feel bad. Both kinds of feelings are normal. Of course, we all enjoy good feelings. But when we don't like the way we are feeling, sometimes we don't know what to do about it."
Our school guidance counselor, Mrs. Ivonne Casco, has begun to meet with our 2nd graders to talk about how fear and other feelings are normal, and that appropriate sharing of our feelings is healthy. Your child is involved in learning-activities designed to develop good character and empower them to make good choices for themselves.
ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL – We would like to remind all parents and students that the first bell rings at 7:55 a.m. The second bell rings at 8:00 a.m. By this time, all students should be in their classrooms ready for instructions. If your child is late, he/she misses important information and disrupts the rest of his/her classmates.
EASTER/SPRING BREAK - Spring Break is just around the corner! No classes from April 2 - 10. Classes will resume on Wednesday, April 11th. Enjoy a well deserved vacation time!
Have a nice week!
Ms. Muriel & Ms. Elena Borjas

EASTER CELEBRATION, FRIDAY, MARCH 30
Ms. Amy Robertson has kindly offered to host this celebration.
The Easter Committee: Mr.Lucas and Lily Liu, Katya, Elmy, Francis, Deborah and Amy have planned lots of wonderful surprises for the children.
Students need to bring at least (10) ten clean unbroken egg shells, by Tuesday 27th at the latest. The way to do this is by opening two small holes on each end of the egg and then blow through one of the ends to empty it. Do not boil the eggs. The eggs will be painted in class for an egg hunt and sent to Ms. Amy Robertson on Wednesday.
On that day students will create a traditional sawdust carpet, have lunch together and play water games. Please have your child bring their swimming suit, towel and insect repellent.

--"Dealing With Feelings,"
by Dr. Eric Dlugokinski
Our school guidance counselor, Mrs. Ivonne Casco, has begun to meet with our 2nd graders to talk about how fear and other feelings are normal, and that appropriate sharing of our feelings is healthy. Your child is involved in learning-activities designed to develop good character and empower them to make good choices for themselves. Here are some things you can do at home to support the lessons:
- Ask your child to tell you about the weekly lessons and what he or she learned from it.
- When your child behaves emotionally, don't overreact. Your calmness is the best model. When your child calms down, talk about the feelings and discuss appropriate ways of dealing with them.
- Affirm to your child that strong feelings are normal, that we all have them and must learn to deal with them. It is part of growing up.
- Encourage new or unfamiliar activities. Confidence is a product of successful experiences; applaud the little victories.
ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL – We would like to remind all parents and students that the first bell rings at 7:55 a.m. The second bell rings at 8:00 a.m. By this time, all students should be in their classrooms ready for instructions. If your child is late, he/she misses important information and disrupts the rest of his/her classmates.
EASTER/SPRING BREAK - Spring Break is just around the corner! No classes from April 2 - 10. Classes will resume on Wednesday, April 11th. Enjoy a well deserved vacation time!
