It's the time of year when we start to feel the excitement of the upcoming holidays! A quick reminder that the best thing for kids for the next few weeks is to stick to routines as much as possible. Routines provide a framework for a child's life, and children feel secure when they know what is going to happen next. They know and can anticipate what is going to happen in the day, which brings comfort and a sense of control. We know that the holidays can cause some anxiousness for any child - so I'm asking that we do our best to keep things as calm and predictable as possible. I'm not saying that we have to always adhere to the routine - but just reminding you to try to stay true as much as possible!
I want to recognize a big part of your own routine is helping and supporting your students - now more than ever. These are challenging times, and your patience and creativity are being stretched every day. Please know that these extra efforts are not going unnoticed - thank you.
