High School Basketball Updates

In Guidance this week we made Anger Monsters and Tattle Monsters! We can use our Anger Monsters to remind us to take a deep breath and blowing all our hot air when we are feeling scared or angry to pause our Downstairs brain to give our Upstairs brain time to problem solve logically. We can use our tattle monsters to remind us to whisper our tattle into our hands and feed it to the hungry tattle monster, instead of tattling. We learned that tattling is when you tell an adult about a small problem. A small problem is a problem you can solve yourself. We practiced ways to solve small problems. For example, when someone budges in line. We also practiced recognizing a big problem and that we need to tell an adult if someone is hurt or it is an emergency.

In such a small school our students spend a lot of time with the same students in their grade-level class. Science Club welcomes students of any grade and we have participants in 4K-High School. The coolest thing is how well all of the students interact. They never mind who is working next to them. The littles are helped by the older students and there are no arguments, even between siblings! It is just learning together through natural play, hands-on activities and experiments. It truly represents our Little Red Schoolhouse!

The Winter School is seeking to fill a full time Special Education Aide Position. Please see details and feel free to contact the school if you have any questions.

One of our standards in Social Studies is to explore and investigate many celebrations that take place in the United States. To support this important standard, classes learned about Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), which is celebrated in many Spanish-speaking countries, especially in Mexico and parts of the US. Día de los Muertos honors the memory of loved ones who have passed away. Learning about this celebration allows us to explore cultural traditions, language, and the values of remembrance.

One of our amazing local families brought in all sorts of wonderful things to help us learn about this family celebration. They brought donuts and tamales for us to try, and shared what an ofrenda may look like for a family. We Had a wonderful time! Thank you so much to the Sanchez-Espino family for taking the time to help us learn new things today!
