CHAMPs and SEL Curriculum:
We have had a wonderful start to our school year, and the students have transitioned nicely back into the school routine. We have been focusing on our SEL curriculum through our Second Step program and establishing behavior expectations school-wide through our CHAMPS program. Each part of their day can be "CHAMPed Out" to set the expectations. See an example of our Lunch Room expectations below.
Conversation - Help - Activity - Movement - Participation - Success
Math Proficiency Tables:
Click HERE for the K-5 Math Proficiency Tables. What is a Proficiency Table? A proficiency table, or proficiency scale, is a tool that helps teachers and students measure a student's progress and achievement. It can be used to evaluate a student's understanding of a specific skill or knowledge. Interested in looking at more proficiency tables? Visit the Kaneland Website, in the Parent Tab to access more.
Opportunity For 5th Grade Students:
Questions to Engage Your Child In About School:
What was the best part of your day?
What made you laugh today?
What was the most interesting thing you learned today?
What was the hardest thing you did today?
Who did you sit with at lunch today?
What was your favorite subject today?
What did you do that was creative?
What made you feel proud today?
What did you need help with today? Who helped you?
What do you think you should do/learn more of at school?
When asking questions, it's important to be specific and focus on a certain aspect of their day. It's also a good idea to avoid asking too many questions right away, as kids may want to relax after school
