Happy Friday!!! This week's Spotlight Teacher of the Week is 3rd Grade's Mrs. Sack!! Students said she's the smartest teacher in the world, pretty, has kind words, and is a great teacher. Congratulations, Mrs. Sack!! Keep getting your teach on!!


GREEN ZONE IS....READY TO GO!
What does that mean? Ask your kids!! After the last two weeks, your kiddo should be able to teach you all about the Zones of Regulation!!
We're learning how to handle our emotions - big and small - in healthy ways.
Check-in with your kids and ask them to teach you!! Then, please share your family skills and quotes below!
Example: One skill to calm down when upset (yellow zone) is to do some box breathing.
These pictures are our 4th and 5th graders putting on skits to teach the zones! We have quite the drama crew!! ~ Mrs. Simmons

From the Washington Preschool Times!
“Today the Preschoolers got to pretend to be 'surgeons’ and cut up Playdoh into multiple pieces. A big thank you to Great Plains Health for donating gowns, hair nets, gloves, and masks for Miss Folchert’s class. They can all be excellent doctors one day!” - Miss Folchert






Attention, Wildcats!! Last week's SPOTLIGHT TEACHER was none other than 2nd grade's Mrs. Burford!

Happy New Year!


Happy Last Day!! These North Pole representatives wish you the merriest of holidays!! Enjoy break!!


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
