Yealey Elementary School Newsletter

 Yealey Families,

I hope you have had a great week!  We have worked hard at school. I've enjoyed watching students problem solve in math and work on reading new books.  

Thursday evening is our Learning Check In evening.  Please look for information from your homeroom teacher on times and how the event will run.

Next week PTA is hosting a bow and bowtie dance on Friday evening for a cost of $15 per family and tickets are ordered ahead of time.  NO tickets will be sold at the door.  

Our Leader In Me Action Team asked that I share our focus of the month:

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand. Then to be Understood: 

This means: When we listen with the intent to understand others, rather than with the intent to reply, we begin true communication and relationship building. Seeking to understand takes kindness; seeking to be understood takes courage. Effectiveness lies in balancing the two.

 Ask your child: Think of someone in your life who you think is a good listener. Your grandma? Your dad? Your best friend? What do they do that makes them a good listener? Could you try to do some of those things that make them a good listener?

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  

Mrs. Turner
