NEWS FROM OUR COUNSELOR- ALI FOLEY
Welcome to our new counselor Ali Foley! Please CLICK HERE to learn a little bit about her and CLICK HERE to view her brochure.
WHAT'S NEW?
* WORRY WARRIOR GROUP IS FORMING! The purpose of this group is to build coping skills to deal with worry. Students will learn more about deep breathing, muscle relaxation and more! Click here for more information!
* BUDDY BENCH
Suamico Elementary is lucky to have a Buddy Bench on the playground. The Buddy Bench is a playground installation where kids sit when they feel lonely, signaling other kids to ask them to play. Teaching Tolerance's article entitled Wanted: Playground Buddy - A Buddy Bench can make recess more inclusive—and more fun! explains that at least 1,000 elementary schools on six continents have installed Buddy Benches on their playgrounds. The popularity of Buddy Benches in the United States is credited to then-first-grader Christian Bucks, whose family was planning to move to Germany for his father’s job. When Christian was looking at German schools online, he saw a similar bench on one of its playgrounds. He liked the idea and shared it with the principal of his school, Roundtown Elementary in York, Pennsylvania. Christian’s family ultimately stayed in York, so after Christian started second grade in 2013, he introduced the Buddy Bench to his school during an assembly. Here is a video we created, starring some talented Panthers on the expectations of the Buddy Bench at recess. http://viewpure.com/p6xMnXX6WQo?start=0&end=0

PRINCIPAL MESSAGE:
- Thanks to your support, our teachers were able to purchase $85 each of books from the Book Fair. The fall book fair allows our school to use the profits to purchase books to build classroom libraries. The books are appreciated and allow for engagement during independent reading time. Thank you again for your support!
- The weather is changing fast! Here's how we handle winter weather at Suamico Elementary:
- Temps over 0 degrees (air temp and/or wind chill) = we will go out for recess
- Temps under 0 degrees (air temp and/or wind chill) = indoor recess
- Temps under 40 degrees = we would expect students to be wearing hats and gloves
- Snow on the ground = students must be wearing snowpants and boots or they will be asked to stay on the blacktop area only
- Finally, classrooms are kept at about 68 to 69 degrees. You might want to consider sending a sweater or sweatshirt that your child can leave at school if s/he gets cold during the day.
- Temps over 0 degrees (air temp and/or wind chill) = we will go out for recess
- Stay engaged with Suamico Elementary! Read our newsletter each week: http://suamiconews.weebly.com or go to or school website at http://suamicohssd.weebly.com/. Thanks!
