Week Ahead Dec 3-6

GOOD THINGS HAPPENING


Thanks for all of the parents that were able to make it out for conferences. 
It was great to see everyone. If you did not get a chance, please contact your
child’s teacher. This month is going to be a bit busier, but a wonderful time.
We have our Bell Choir and Vocal Choir performing around the community.

On Friday, we held a whole school assembly and had a great time. Many
students were recognized for filling other people's buckets, for their
positive referrals, talent and sports. We are lucky to have so many great
things happening at Bellevue. From intramurals, student led clubs, sports teams,
bell and vocal choir, and so much more.

Congratulations to our swim pass, pizza lunch winners and Bucket Fillers.









CHARACTER EDUCATION


This month we are learning about patience, waiting for later,
for what you want now.  We are learning different strategies for being
more patience and extending the amount of time we can wait. 
We are learning more positive reactions in different situations.

FAMILY FUN NIGHT ON WELLNESS


We had a great time on Thursday with all of the families!  We all enjoyed
dinner together and had an opportunity to learn about wellness through
activity.  Families had fun playing a wide variety of games and activities.
They also learned about regulation through mindfulness activities like
breathing, yoga, reading, etc.  It was a great night. We will continue to
plan more activities for our families throughout the year. Our next event
is our Family Movie Night on December 5th.
