Take a look at our new "Guess Who" board! Pictures of all of the staff from when they were in grade school!
Hello, Westwood Families!
As we turn the corner to wrap up the third quarter and start the fourth quarter, I wanted to take a moment to share information about the small groups, often known as “Lunch Bunch”, I facilitate at Westwood Elementary.
Zones of Regulation: This social-emotional learning curriculum teaches emotion recognition and self-regulation.
Social Detective and Superflex: The curriculum teaches social awareness, flexible thinking, and self-regulation.
Wolverine Club: We reinforce the behavior expectations of PBIS (Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn) and encourage positive engagement within the Westwood community.
(Parents/Guardians receive additional information and the option to opt-out from the above lunch bunches)
Casual Lunch Bunch: A couple of students from the same grade level gather, and we read a book, play a quick board game, or do another team-building activity. This is a popular request! (Please email me if you prefer your student to not participate in a casual lunch bunch.)
Lunch bunches have been a highlight of my year! I am happy to answer any questions.
Take care!

ROCK YOUR SOCKS FOR WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY, March 20th No school on 3/21, so we will celebrate a day early, MARCH 20! Honor those living with Down Syndrome and wear mismatched socks. Why mismatched socks? Chromosomes in our cells look like a pair of socks, and individuals with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome. By wearing mismatched, fun, or colorful socks, we can start a conversation about the things that make all of us different and yet the same.
Our next popcorn day is Thursday, March 20th. Sign-up now: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080B4AACA92FA1FA7-55562627-westwood
