Dear families,
We are really in the swing of May! Spring has brought us a mix of sunshine and rain, and everyone can feel the end of the school year fast approaching! Students have been completing their MAP Growth testing this week and next, to gauge their progress throughout the year. After that, we will have mere days left in the 2024-2025 school year! Students have also been preparing for Mothers Day, so for all you moms out there, I hope you feel loved and appreciated.
This past week, we have also been celebrating TEACHER APPRECIATION and SCHOOL NURSE week! Our teachers and nurses put their all into making Wooten a safe and encouraging place to learn and grow. If you haven’t made a gesture of gratitude yet, consider submitting a note through AISD’s RAVE website!
Over the last few weeks, Wooten’s own Student Council has been spreading cheer throughout the entire school with presentations to every class about Random Acts of Kindness. To see the presentation for yourself, come to this month’s Coffee with the Principal on May 16th at 8:30am. They have worked so hard and are excited to share with you!
This month, we highlight Creativity as our Character Trait. One way to think about Creativity is “using your imagination to create something new or solve a problem.” Try practicing at home! Get Creative with expressing your emotions through a game of emotion charades! Gather as a family and brainstorm some emotion words. Write them on slips of paper and turn them facedown. Then, take turns choosing a slip of paper and acting out the emotion (assist with reading as needed). Other family members will guess the emotion that is being acted out. After each person’s turn, take a moment to talk about what we may need when experiencing these emotions.
Through their SEL&CPI (Social Emotional Learning and Cultural Proficiency & Inclusiveness) office, Austin ISD promotes whole-child learning for our students. This month, Creativity falls into the constructs of Executive Functioning, Responsible Decision-Making and Self-Management. See the chart below.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns or suggestions:
Como siempre, no duden en comunicar conmigo por cualquiera pregunta, preocupación o sugerencia:
