Las Positas Updates

Happy Friday,

Welcome February ♥️ A new month full of opportunities, adventures, and possibilities await us. Let's embrace the moments ahead with open hearts and positive vibes. Wishing everyone a fantastic February ahead!

It is National Counselor Appreciation Week. We want to thank all the wonderful counselors in our lives, especially, Mr. Do. Thank you!

As an IB PYP school, we aim to develop students who are thinkers. Students who are thinkers exercise initiative in applying thinking skills critically and creatively to recognize and approach complex problems, and make reasoned, ethical decisions.

IB students contribute to discussions in a meaningful way. They do not shy away from challenging questions and, once they know the answer, follow up by asking “why?”

Have a wonderful thought provoking weekend!

1. Encourage your child to engage in pretend play, children are naturally curious and imaginative.
2. Pause and wait...give your child time to think for him/herself, be patient.
3. Don't intervene immediately, it's okay to let your child explore on their own.
4. Ask open-ended questions.
5. Help children develop hypotheses.
6. Encourage critical thinking in new and different ways.
7. Encourage your child to retell stories, put on plays with story props.
8. Leave time for unstructured play.
9. Encourage your child to play and explore outside.
10. Encourage Creative Thinking.
11. Let your child experience failure, and then let him/her figure out how to turn their failure into a positive learning experience.
12. Provide opportunities to visit Children's Museums and Libraries.
