To honor their hard work and to celebrate a successful beginning, we will be having a dance party in the gym on Monday, November 24th. D.J. Mick will host the PK-2 grades from 12:30 to 1:30. From 1:30 to 2:30 it will be the 3rd-5th graders' turn. There will be music, dancing, prizes and fun! Congratulations Longfellow Bears!

Cool Tool Spotlights

This week's Cool Tool Spotlight is about bathroom privacy. Often an issue, especially with younger children, this cool tool discusses respecting oneself and others by maintaining privacy when using the bathroom. The skill includes the need to be respectful by not, for example, yelling outside the bathroom door as well as by not walking into an occupied bathroom. While these seem like obvious skills to an adult, for an uninhibited youngster, these are skills that may need to be more directly addressed.
