November Focus = GRATITUDE

What is Gratitude?

What do you think Gratitude means? What might it look like? Sound like?

Let’s listen to the Gratitude song to learn all about it! Invite students to move and sing along. Then, practice repeating the definition of Gratitude together.

Reflection

  • What part of the definition stands out to you?
  • How can Gratitude make you feel? Why?
  • When was the last time you showed Gratitude or thanked someone?


  • Family Challenge: 
  • Often we can find ourselves noticing things that we don’t like or that we wish were different. Choosing to notice and appreciate things in our life, things in others, and things in the world can be a challenge, but practicing Gratitude can increase our well-being and happiness. This month's focus for 2nd grade is on practicing Gratitude to support emotion regulation. 

    Conversation Starters:

    • What is 1 way that you like to show your Gratitude?
    • Who are you Grateful for this week? What 1 item are you Grateful for this week?

What is a Dine Out Night? 

These restaurant nights are quick and easy fundraisers organized by the Quinney PAC. They are completely optional and no pressure to attend. 

Some families have busy schedules and will opt not to go. That’s great! Some families don’t know what to do for dinner so they enjoy Dine Out Nights. That’s great too! Some restaurants require flyers or specific coupons to be used to earn the funds. Others want families to notify cashiers they are from Quinney School. 

Tom’s Drive In does not require a flyer. Please tell the cashier (dine in or drive thru) that you are with Quinney School if your family attends this week on Tues. Oct. 25th. The money earned goes toward PAC projects like Artist in Residence (Coming to Quinney in Nov!), classroom supplies, teacher requests, playground equipment, and much more. There will be other restaurant options throughout the year. Thank you for supporting if it works for your family! -- EQ PAC






Monday, October 31st -- Celebrating Fall!

We will celebrate the fall season on Monday, October 31st with some special classroom time set aside with activities and treats.  Classroom teachers will determine the time frame for these activities and communicate them with parents.  We ask that students not wear Halloween costumes/make-up to school and instead invite them to wear their favorite fall color if they would like.  Holidays vary for all families and students and each sparks so much joy and creativity for adults and children. For our families that celebrate Halloween we hope you and your family have a fun and safe celebration that evening or earlier in October!
