Indoor Recess Update
I would ask that we have similar choices for indoor recess:
- Reading of books
- Games (Let me know if you need some games.)
- Electronics (unless students become inappropriate)
- Coloring
As you are taking with students about being proactive, Ira Sleeps Over is a great book to help support the conversation about being in control of the way we respond in certain situations. This Stop and Think chart reinforces the principle that between stimulus and response we have a choice, which is part of Habit 1: Be Proactive. To use the chart, first list the stimulus (the situation, the event, etc. that happens to you) in the box on the left. Then stop and think about how you might respond. Choose an appropriate response and write it in the box on the right. The emphasis is on students being aware of their ability to choose rather than react to a given situation.
I would like to recognize and thank the following staff for agreeing to share their talents with us at the Next Practices conference: Anna, Liz, Carrie, Hannah, Becky, Colleen, Adrienne, Nicole, Amy, Marco, Brandi, Megan, Bridget, Paula, Susan, Anne, MariKate, Christine, Katie, and Meredith. If anyone else is planning a session, please let me know. It is going to be a great day of learning!
Please be sure to share this opportunity with parents on your social media pages:
STEM Scouts comes to Concord! This program is a hands-on, fun, and challenging way for youth to learn about STEM and the different career avenues STEM offers. With the new STEM Scouts pilot program, we want to invigorate excitement around STEM knowledge in youth. STEM Scouts is a coed program for youth in 3rd – 12th grade and helps them learn the values of Scouting through immersion in STEM activities. This program is designed to offer a program to students who are interested science, technology, engineering, and math and may not be interested in the typical Scouting program.
Through weekly afterschool meetings using four- to six-week thematic modules that cover a variety of disciplines, STEM Scouts is designed to be fast paced, thought provoking, and fun. The coed program provides a great opportunity for collaboration and gives all youth a chance to develop better STEM understanding and skills.
STEM Scouts is designed to be youth led with adult guidance, teaching youth the inner workings of a lab through fun, interactive modules designed for the perspective age groups. STEM Scouts focuses on showcasing STEM professionals and STEM organizations/companies as partners.
