Family Update 3/7/2025
Farid Johnson

Dear Siwanoy Families, 

We made it to another Friday! Although it is March, the weather still seems to be stuck in February. Please continue to send your children to school dressed appropriately for the weather as we continue to go outside to enjoy recess. 

Our reading initiatives have been amazing. Our students are having a great time with the read-a-thon, Read Across America week was a huge success, and we were reminded that our kids are super cute. The picture below really sums up the week. Sometimes we need to summon our inner Mickey Mouse and just smile and be kind!

We are looking forward to a fantastic week ahead. Keep spreading the love and have an amazing weekend!
 
 
 
 
 
Sincerely,
Farid Johnson

Phrase of the month is "problem solving".
Problem solving is the process of identifying, analyzing, and finding solutions to challenges or obstacles. It involves critical thinking, decision making, flexibility, and creativity. Developing problem-solving skills promotes resilience and independence.
