It's Fall!
Dear Families,
My favorite season of the year! Lions let me down last week, let's hope they rebound and get it done this week š¬. Breakfast is going well. With a higher number of breakfast eaters... If you are dropping off your student(s) for breakfast, please have them ready to walk in the door at 8:25 am. This helps so much with getting the kids through the line and eating at their table quicker. Thank you!
We are almost 100 % set with our transitions and our schedule of instruction and interventions. As October is right around the corner, it highlights a critical 3 months of teaching and learning. let's all lean in to this process together so we can ensure the best possible outcomes in our county!
Let's enjoy an amazing week of learning!
Just added:
- Rock Star Teacher (every other week). Highlighted every other week. Recognition and a change for students to get to know our adults a bit better.
- Capturing Kids' Hearts theme - EMPATHY
- Lost and Found Pic - missing anything?
- Paraprofessional help needed - soon!
Sincerely,
Paul Siembida

Capturing Kids Hearts (CKH)
This Month's Theme is EMPATHY!
What is Empathy?
Empathy is the ability to be aware of, understand, and be sensitive to another personās feelings. Instead of focusing how these feelings impact ourselves, empathy motivates us to focus on others and respond with care and compassion.
Even though much of our focus has been on teaching and learning our classroom and building expectations this month, talking about Empathy fits in as well. Often times, when we fall short of meeting expectations we impact those around us. The better we understand EMPATHY, the better we understand that our actions can affect a person's feelings, mood, and experience (either positively or negatively). Meeting our classroom and building expectations is displaying EMPATHY towards others.

See anything that is yours?
Lost and Found can get out of hand pretty fast in an elementary building. If you see anything that is yours, please claim it! We will hold stuff until it overflows then we need to wash and donate to clear space. Please talk with your student(s) to grab their stuff if you see something familiar. Thank you!
Paraprofessional Help Needed!
Twin Lake Elementary will be in need of a Paraprofessional. Soon, one of our Paraprofessionals will be on a leave.
