This is a quick video that gives ideas for reading facial expressions when wearing a mask. It can be hard with a mask, but with practice, students can learn:

We have A group students today. 

We have Friday fun today- Dress as your future career.

We have our monthly sale today: STEM color your own papers. These are great for at home learning, exposing students to future careers, and are perfect so students have something to do at home during this crazy time.

As we are home more, and trying not to be in groups, this post might have ideas for activities you could complete at home. Feel free to email your hobbies. You might find a new friend and you could check in with each other via a google meet. That common interest and check in could be a great positive boost to your day:

Screen Free Hobbies


Let's move on to Christmas. You have to have Macy's during the holiday season. Last year I was in New York and was able to experience their main store, antique wooden escalators, and holiday festivities. Fun times. For a city kid, I was at home in Manhattan. Here is a great Macy's activity every year. This is also a great positive activity for our kids:

Believe- Letters to Santa


Lately, I live in pajamas when not at school. I even bought new pajamas. Thought for today:

We have B group students today.

We have grade level teaming today, via video. We will also have door prizes throughout the day. Be listening for your name. We need positives right now. 


I love this video. We have always had morning meetings built into our daily schedule. This is from the Responsive Classroom program. This is a great way to build community and rapport, while also developing important social and emotional skills. As we have students learning at home, we have to be creative with how we continue building community. We also want all students to know we are thinking about them, wanting them to stay connected to their classroom. A video message might be a way to check in:

Staying Connected

It is Election Day. Please find time today to vote. 

 

We've started our monthly family involvement activity for November. A big thank you to first grade, Sorensen, and Mr. Anderson for leading this month. Look around classrooms and hallways for turkeys in disguises, to avoid being eaten. 


With Winter approaching, it is hygge season. There is also much to be thankful for during this time. Thought for today:
