MARCH From Our Teachers
Leawood Elementary School
Check out the fun Ms. Bole's class had with the snow day BINGO board activities.
Kindergarten D.I.G. Event:
Art and Music would love to invite you to the Kindergarten D.I.G. Event. This is an opportunity for you and your student to explore Art and Music together. Through storytelling and creative thinking, you will come away with collaborative pieces from both Art and Music. Our goal is to help your students discover, inspire, and grow in JOY and CONFIDENCE together for First Grade. This event will be virtual on April 19th from 6-7 P.M. If you would like to RSVP, please go here.
We look forward to having an evening full of Art and Music for your student that helps them grow in Joy and Confidence into First Grade.
Social-Emotional Learning
Students are learning more about empathy and how to put empathy into action by showing compassion. Our students also have opportunities to demonstrate their social-emotional skills throughout the school by earning pride bucks, displaying leadership, participating in classroom discussions to continue to build community, and being active learners during Second Step lessons.
The students will be learning more about emotion management and building self-awareness that further develops their social-emotional skills and strengths.
If you have not yet visited Jeffco’s Virtual Calm Room please know that it is available for all students and families to explore. By visiting the link below, you may find activities and tools to assist in calming the brain and body during times of stress.
Thank you,
