Hi all,

Today we had a busy short day. We did some reading by ourselves and did a quick partner read. We had our pillars of care assembly before heading to the gym for some tag games and races. We read the story of the Grinch and talked about how people can change for the better sometimes. We did a final desk clean of the year so when we come back in January they will be all ready for us. 

Here are our pillars of care winners for December! Congratulations to those winners and good luck for January to the rest of you. 

Care for Others: Paige - Paige is a very caring person and looks out for others in our class. She will check on someone if they're hurt and will play with people if they need a friend. 

Care for Learning: Yusuf - tries his hardest with writing. He looks at the board for help and tries his own ideas. When he is really stuck he will ask for help but he will always try himself first. 

Care for Place: Alma - Alma’s spot is always clean and tidy and she helps out picking things off the floor even if it is not hers. 

Care for Self: Cooper - Cooper listens to all the reminders in class and tries his best to listen to all the lessons so he always knows exactly what to do. 

Pillar of the Month: Skylar - Skylar is always checking in with me to make sure she is on track and doing the right thing both with lessons and with classroom expectations. She is always doing the right thing but still checks in, the picture of humility. 

Hope you all have a wonderful relaxing break and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year.
