Parents and Guardians,

Hello! Here at school, we have begun to discuss our emotions. In this specific newsletter we will be discussing emotions in general. It's okay to feel mad, sad, or happy. All emotions are normal. Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. Below are many ways that you can help your child continue to learn about emotions, through reading about it, talking about it, and practicing it! Thank you and have a great day!
