Hi Mesick families!
Last day of emotional regulation info. Here are some tips for emotional coaching (we do this every day as parents/caregivers).
1. Be aware of your child's emotions.
2. Recognize emotion as an opportunity for connection or teaching.
3. Help your child verbally label emotions.
4. Communicate empathy and understanding.
5. Set limits and problem-solve.
Please also check out the other handouts I've included-I hope they're helpful! Last, but not least, look for Friday's, "Bravo Bulldogs" post tomorrow to see some Elementary highlights of remote learning.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Bulldogs past and present, if you see a teacher who made an impact, let them know!
We ran in to some difficulties tonight! Sorry to those of you who logged in with the first game code. Quizziz kicked me out and I had to launch a new code. The top 3 were the Spencer Family, The Stankes, & Mrs. Abraham.
Hoping to have better luck on Friday!
NEW GAME CODE!!! Sorry everyone, we have to launch under a new code for Quizziz. Please exit out and join with code 097031. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Good luck on tonight's Nursery Rhymes Quizziz.

Hello Bulldogs!
A reminder that tomorrow, Thursday May 7th, you can pick up your child’s personal belongings from 4:00-6:00 pm. JH/HS student pickup will be at the JH/HS building, and elementary student’s pickup will be in the parking lot behind the elementary school. When pulling in, please form a line the best you can and stay in your vehicle. A staff member will get your child’s belongings for you. Thanks for your cooperation.
Hi Mesick Families,
Emotional regulation, day three!
To understand emotions, it helps to understand how they impact the brain!
(please see accompanying photo of the brain that goes along with this explanation)
Our brain is like zoo, filled with lots of different animals; each animal having a different role:
-The owl sits calmly at the front, ready to solve problems and help calm the monkey down.
-The monkey examines things with curiosity and decides whether a certain change of situation is good or bad for you. When he spots danger, he runs wild, scaring and agitating all the other animals, except for the owl which he simply throws out, so he can keep making a mess with no one to stop him.
-The elephant has excellent memory. He sits there pretty quietly but only until he sees something that reminds him of an unpleasant experience. He then immediately alerts the monkey who runs wild all over again.
-The rabbit is always on the lookout for danger; when he sees the monkey isn’t calm, he quickly runs away and hides.
-The lion waits for the monkey to get started; that’s a sign for him to attack.
-As for the penguin, the moment he senses that things are going bad, he freezes on the spot!
Now imagine what would happen in a zoo with an over exaggerating elephant, a hyperactive monkey that’s constantly edgy, or a rabbit that runs and hides even when things are not that bad. Tough, indeed!
Which animals run your brain?
Why did we choose these animals?
When do we respond from the penguin?
When do we respond from the lion?
When do we respond from the rabbit?
What other animal would we add to the zoo?
"Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change."

Happy Wednesday!
