Today’s Guidance lesson is my FAVORITE lesson of the year! Each year before break, we read “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”. And each year? These awesome students of ours dig a little deeper and understand this season a little bit more. I love seeing them grow in understanding and love! Check out our Facebook page to see student quotes from today. PLEASE - Feel free to share any thoughts you come up with as a family to explain how Christmas (or whatever you celebrate this holiday season) “doesn’t come from a store,” and how we live that out in our lives each day! Happy holidays! - Mrs. Simmons

Hello, Wildcats families! In Guidance today we learned (& relearned) about how to stay safe - at home, in public, and online! If you're curious about bathing suits in December... we used those to explain private areas on our bodies and how to protect our body boundaries! Any body parts that a swimsuit covers are private! We talked about trusted adults (parents, teachers, other family members, cops, etc.) and what to do if someone tries to harm us. I encouraged each student to talk with their families at home tonight about everything they learned as well as asking guardians if their families may have additional rules to keep safe. I love hearing the creative rules and ideas students share from their families' conversations about keeping safe. I learn something new each year, too!
Mrs. Simmons' 5 Grade Ambassadors had their last meeting before break. They were doing ALL sorts of goal-writing to prep for creating vision boards in January! Wild evening!
