Food for thought: The Nebraska Department of Education recognizes the importance of early childhood education through their Early Learning Guidelines. The very first guideline acknowledges the importance of every parent, childcare provider, and early childhood teacher. It reads, "Children are learning every moment. The environments we create and the interactions we provide have a direct impact on children's learning and development. This is true throughout the child's entire day including home environments, neighborhoods, and early childhood settings. Secure relationships with parents, family members, teachers, caregivers, and peers help children to feel emotionally safe and confident as learners and in their interactions with others."-NDE Early Learning Guidelines
This may just look like a pile of notecards. However, each notecard has a student's name on it signed and dated by staff members who each day made a concerted effort to "go get 'em"-go get a student that is. This second semester, exactly 808 intentional conversations were had between staff and students and 1,702 "go get 'ems" throughout the entire year took place. We're proud to share that's 1,702 moments of positive relationship building which makes for the culture and climate of a school family at East Elementary. 💜
East Elementary Reminder: Students are dismissed for the summer at noon today. No lunch will be served. Thank you for a fantastic school year!
