Mrs. Ramsey is at it again! She’s always looking for opportunities to shower our students with literacy enriching opportunities.
Through a partnership with the RCLC - the Rogers County Literacy Council - 2nd and 3rd grade students each received books to add to their shelves at home!
Edel Godwin, the Executive Director, was thrilled to be able to share these books with our students - which was all made possible through funding from the Sarkeys Foundation.
Thank you, Rogers County Literacy Council!

On this #wellnesswednesday, we want to stress the importance of keeping your children safe online.
There are several ways to accomplish this, but here are a few of our favorites:
1. Discuss internet safety with your children.
2. When children are on their devices, make sure they’re in an open room where they can be easily supervised.
3. Review games, apps, and any mobile sites before allowing your child to download them - or browse them.
4. Adjust privacy settings and parental controls. You are the frontline in keeping your child safe!

Do you remember having a journal as an elementary student?
5th grade students take time to write in their journals every day - sometimes with a prompt and sometimes free writing, getting to put to paper whatever is on their mind.
Writing is such an important, foundational skill for elementary students, as it becomes more complex and inherent in schooling as students grow and mature.

As a part of their morning attendance routine, Pre-K students add their names to the "present" column, and then count together the number of students who are absent and the number who are present.
These students are learning great number sense!

2nd grade students were eager to get back to the library to exchange their books!

Mornings can be hard.
That's why, for this #wellnesswednesday, we want to give you 4 tips for starting your school day mornings with success.
#1. Organize school essentials the night before. Set everything your child needs out for the morning: school clothes, charged devices, etc.
#2. Set an earlier bed-time. Early to sleep, early to rise!
#3. Create a soothing down-time routine before bed. This might include a bath, a story, and snuggles before lights out.
#4. Reduce screen - time. Screen time has been known to make falling asleep harder, shorten attention spans, etc. Allow less screen time sets your child up for school day success!
