Greetings Husky Families
Thank you for everything you do to assist us in making Jahn a great place. It was good to see a number of you last week during parent-teacher conferences. During that day, I also provided families with my State of Jahn School address. For those who could not attend, here are the slides: State of Jahn School Address 10.26.23. Please reach out if you have any questions.
This week we are saying good-bye to October and hello to November. With that, we are welcoming our next social-emotional learning (SEL) theme which is Gratitude. Every day is a day to show gratitude. This theme, like all other themes, falls in the category of one we can highlight and acknowledge throughout the year.
To assist you in exploring this theme at home, please take a moment to review the following resources:
Kindness Rocks - Sonica Ellis
How Full Is Your Bucket? - Mary Reckmeyer and Tom Rath
Those Shoes - Maribeth Boelts
You, Me, and Empathy - Jayneen Sanders
All Are Welcome - Alexandra Penfold
Giraffe Problems - Jory John
Chocolate Milk, Por Favor - Maria Dismondy
It’s Okay To Be Different - Todd Parr
Last Stop On Market Street - Matt de la Pena
