Here are some literacy tips to help at home:

• Make reading a special, positive time.
• Find or make a special cozy reading area at home
• Make reading positive and do not use it as a punishment
• Talk to your child about what their reading
• Take books everywhere and play word games in the car!
• Reading online, a book from the library, a magazine and even recipes can count towards your child’s 20 minutes of reading
• Take turns reading to your child and act out the story as you read it.
• Write your child notes and leave them places for them to read!
• Read in fun places, in a blanket fort or under the table.
• Let your child read to a stuffed animal or pet!

Begin Sending Boots!

The weather varies each day from morning recess to afternoon recess.  One thing that is for sure is that our grass and even blacktop areas can vary greatly in a day.  It will be beneficial to start sending boots to school with them daily even if there is no snow.  We have classes required to be on an assigned area each recess and boots will be very valuable for at least 3 of the areas even with just rain or a dusting of snow.  If you send them to school daily beginning now, your child will be prepared and will not need to sit in wet shoes. 

Thank you for sending your student to school prepared...

• EVERYDAY...
• Boots
• Coat
• Lightweight Mittens
• Hood or lightweight hat
• On days with a prediction of SNOW
• Snowpants
• Snow mittens
• Stocking Hat

December Focus is on Empathy

This month we are talking about the social-emotional skill of Empathy. We are using this definition at school:

Empathy: the ability to understand and connect to the feelings of another.

Empathy is a crucial skill for being in community with others and a powerful skill to develop in personal and professional relationships. We are focusing on a few key pieces of Empathy: knowing how we feel (and having language to describe those feelings!), understanding what others are feeling, and listening to others well so that we can connect in more meaningful ways! We will reflect on powerful images that will inspire conversations about emotions, connection, and friendship. We will think about incredible people like the Indian author Arundhati Roy and our past president Barack Obama have to say about Empathy. We will celebrate what makes us different and find the amazing things that bring us together.

Community Events and Activity Flyers

There are a great many worthy undertakings in the Kaukauna Area School District that understandably deserve public support. The Board of Education/School District assist with this process in providing notice to students and/or families of certain non-school-related community activities/programs that are for public school-age students (that apply and meet policy conditions). Click here or visit the school district website to view the up to date list of events and flyers.
