Feed My Starving Children
Elizabeth Ide students, families and staff will be participating in Feed My Starving Children on Thursday, April 7th. They will be putting food into bags to ship to malnourished communities around the world. Additional money is needed to ship the food to those in need. Our class will be collecting money from April 4th - April 7th. If you are able to donate, please send your donation with your child for our collection jar. It will be very much appreciated, by many.
Thank You!
Mrs. Pesavento, the school psychologist, will be invited into our classroom. She will introduce the model GDD, Get Ready, Do, and Done. This model teaches children to develop independent executive function skills. Children will learn how to "plan-execute-review-try again".
