Hope everyone is enjoyed the first full week of school. Kudos to parents it usually take a couple of weeks for the dismissal car rider line to get to normal, but we were already at 22min on Monday. If you have not enrolled in the new Judson app please get on as soon as possible to get important information from your teacher, school, and district. Look below I have posted the info.

Please Note*** Every week I send out a weekly newsletter and share upcoming events, important info from the PTO, and pictures and events from the week in case you missed it. This will be sent to the enrolling parents email, but can always be found on our facebook page which usually has more pictures of our events as well so it might be a good idea to follow

Hi Families! I'm excited to get into classrooms to teach lessons. In the next couple of weeks, I will go into classrooms and teach my "Meet the Counselor" lessons. Students will learn about my role here at Olympia and how I am here to help them and to keep them safe.

Aug 13th-Aug. 22rd Following Directions

If you would like to reinforce the lessons on Follow Directions we recommend 4 popular kids books that could lead to great discussions. These could also probably be found on utube as well Joshua Disobeys by Vollmer, Miss Nelson is Missing by Allard, No Jumping on the bed by Arnold, and Angela's Airplane by Monsch Sample Qs: What was one direction given in the story? Did the main character follow the direction? Why do you think the adult gave that direction?

The Goal: Remind students the teacher's has two main jobs at school-Keep us Safe and Help us Learn. Teachers use directions to accomplish this goal. By following directions from teachers it helps us to learn and be safe.

Summary/Key Phrase: When teacher gives a direction We follow directions RIGHT AWAY

Aug 25th- Sep 5th Paying Attention

If you would like to reinforce the lessons on Paying Attention we recommend 4 popular kids books that could lead to great discussions. These could also probably be found on utube as well Look out, Patrick by Geraghly, Come Along, Daisy by Simmons, Pay Attention, Emily Brown! by Burton, and Brown bear, Brown bear, What do you say? by Martin Jr. Sample Qs: Did the main character pay attention? What happened because they weren't paying attention? In order to learn and stay safe we need to pay attention.

The Goal: Remind students we pay attention with our eyes and ears but not our mouths. When we pay attention we watch and listen but we do not talk.

Have a question, concern, or suggestion? Please submit it below, if you have the question others might also we frequently will put answers up for everyone to clear up any concerns or confusion.
