Welcome to November ! October was a busy month full of learning, as well as building a positive and safe environment here at Green Tree. Our schoolwide theme was focused on skills for learning: listening, focusing attention, using self-talk to stay on-task, and being assertive when asking for help with a learning task. In our morning announcements and in class, we focused on these skills each day, and students are really starting to shine as successful learners. As we move into November, our schoolwide theme is focused on empathy. In our morning announcements, we’ll be reminding students to have empathy, identify their own and others’ feelings, notice and respect same and different feelings, and show compassion. When students can identify, understand, and respond in a caring way to how someone else is feeling, it helps create a positive and accepting school climate. We are excited to continue celebrating students for the practice and demonstration of these skills each and every day! N
