• December Focus = EMPATHY

PurpuseFull Pursuit:

At school, we use The Emotion Elements to represent different emotions. For us…

• -Wind represents emotions like silly, nervous, playful, or distracted.

• -Water represents emotions like sad, lonely, tired, or embarrassed.

• -Fire represents emotions like angry, frustrated, excited, or scared.

• -Earth represents emotions like calm, focused, proud, or happy.

As a family, create your own poster showing different emotions. For example: you could use emojis to represent different emotions and label them. Hang your poster in a central location. Each day, designate a time that your student will do an emotion check-in and tap the feeling they felt the most that day. This reminds your student of the emotion vocabulary they are learning at school and gives you insight into how they are feeling. Understanding other people’s feelings can help us grow in Empathy.

Conversation Starters:

• How can you practice perspective-taking here at home?

• How do you think your Kindness can make the biggest difference?

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
