Recognizing our standout students for this week who were caught being proactive and making good choices:
Mila Doubek – Mila does a wonderful job listening and following directions. Her kindness truly shines, especially at recess where she includes students of all ages and makes sure no one feels left out. Keep being an amazing role model, Mila!
Liam Robles – Liam is off to a fantastic start in 3rd grade! He listens carefully, follows directions, and consistently makes thoughtful, proactive choices. Keep it up, Liam!
Harrison Feeler- He is always willing and eager to lend a hand in any way he can. In both music and band, he is always ready to learn. During the first week of school during a new activity in music, he was our first volunteer to lead the group with our new song. In band, he is always attentive and gives his best effort, helping us to have more time for playing by diligently helping to pack up chairs and stands at the end of class.

Beckett Roe, Addison Denger, and Jovie Frahm demonstrate Habit #1: Be Proactive! They have been awesome helpers in our classroom! Cleaning up toys, following directions right away, and staying on task. They set such a great example for their friends, and we’re so proud of them!
Tanner Usher, Krystin Dontje and Andrew Yarolem- They have been working hard to ace math assessments. They used several strategies and took their time to make sure to show what they knew in the area of math.
Tysen McAndrew- He is always listening and paying attention. He raises his hand politely to participate in class. He works hard during work time.
Kinsley Kemp- She is a good role model for what work time should look like and sound like. She takes care of herself and does what she needs to do. She's a great role model!

Letti Pape- She is always using good manners and willing to include others. If she has a problem she is always ready to work it out with a friend. She is always participating during morning meetings and story time while also remembering to raise her hand and wait patiently for her turn.

STUDENT SHOUT OUTS: One of the habits we are working on this year is that of "synergizing", where we learn to work together, valuing each other's unique strengths and ideas to achieve better solutions than we could alone. It means that "Together Is Better" and 1 + 1 can equal 3 or more. This habit involves listening to and understanding different perspectives, celebrating differences instead of just tolerating them. At recess today, we had multiple students demonstrating synergizing with others. Great job TK, Kindergarten and First Grade!
