GOOD LUCK!
Good luck to our school’s 3rd grade Lego League Explore team in their upcoming Regional competition at the Putnam Museum. This year’s challenge was to research how communities obtain energy and how their community uses the energy they obtained. Then the team members had to explore the impact of their community’s energy choices. Finally, the team had to create a better energy journey for their community. The members of the Super Solar Six third grade Lego League Explore team are Jocelyn Bark, Hunter Bray, Owen Kelley, Sophia Munson, River Murphy, and Kennedy Schwandt. The team is coached by Sheryl Kennedy.

FROM MRS. MUNSON
Counseling lessons have been focused on “I can use my strategies to calm down”. Camanche Elementary students spend a lot of time learning and practicing strategies to help them regulate. As a district, we want to instill positive life skills that will aid in students’ future success. At the beginning of our classroom counseling lessons we focus on calm down strategies that can be used at any time and anywhere. Need some calm down ideas? Here are 75 awesome calm down strategies for kids: https://parentswithconfidence.com/calm-down-strategies-for-kids/
· Howard B Wigglebottom Learns It’s Okay to Back Away
· When I Feel Scared, By Cornelia Spelman
· When My Worries Get Too Big, By Kari Dunn Buron
· A Little Spot of Anger, By Diane Alber
· Is a Worry, Worrying You?, By Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz
Sincerely, Mrs. Munson
