THURSDAY MESSAGE APRIL 21, 2022

Congratulations to the following Roar Card Winners who were recognized at last week’s Friday Flag:Weston Gohlich, Alexander Glaeser, Leah Arreola, Iker Funtes, Chris Gallagher, Fabian Bartolo, Irvin Flores, Leonardo Rivera, Daniel Perez, Jate Mari. Thank you for making Responsible, Organized, Academic, and Respectful choices! Each week we will celebrate students at Friday Flag and announce them here to parents.
NEW INFORMATION THIS WEEK
EARTH DAY is TOMORROW!
Friday, April 22nd is Earth Day and Adams will celebrate by encouraging our students and families to walk or bike to school. Incentives will be given out by Student Council for those who participate, including a chance to win unlimited ride tickets for the upcoming fair! ALL students will receive a smoothie for breakfast during morning recess. Perhaps you could bring a trashbag with you and pick up trash along the way. You could then bring the trash bag to school to throw away your collected trash in designated trash cans on campus. Similar to our Explore Ecology lunch activity, it is so easy to lend a hand in keeping our environment clean! Families are invited to walk or bike together and then parents can stay and enjoy coffee with the PTA before and during Friday Flag. We would love to see you on campus!

CALM CORNER: From Lindsay Lookingbill
Emotion Thermometer
Learning to recognize, verbalize, and manage feelings is an important part of social development in children. As young as preschool age, children have the ability to identify their emotions and the emotions of others, speak about their emotions, and regulate their emotions. Children who show greater competency in these areas tend to have better peer relationships, and they are viewed more favorably by teachers.
The Emotion Thermometers handout is a tool for helping children put a name to their feelings and rating their intensity. The colorfully illustrated faces help children recognize each emotion, and the simple rating scales allow them to indicate how intensely they feel each one. Children may color thermometers to their desired level, or make a single mark.
Suggested uses include: Use Emotion Thermometers at the beginning of each class or activity as part of a check-in routine. Help children put a name to their feelings by regularly completing this exercise at the end of an activity, or after sharing a story (e.g. “How did you feel when that happened?”), or when they are visibly experiencing an emotion.
Teach empathy by exploring the emotions of others. Use this resource to explore how someone else might feel.
