Garfield School third grade teacher Shelby Liska provides a 10 minute "soft start" to the school day, giving her a few extra minutes to take roll and do other things, and giving students a few extra minutes to play quietly, use the restroom, or work on something.

It was great having Mr. Pontious read to the class on the first day. After the story we collected data on first day feelings and graphed that data for our first math lesson.

STEM bins are a favorite morning activity in Mrs. Tierney's class. This allows us a calm start to our day so that we can ease into school mode and be ready to learn. STEM bins help students learn concepts of science, technology, engineering and math through hands on experience.

Today a student brought me her whiteboard where she had written "I can be a positive leader to others". She went on to write things to share with her classmates. Other students joined in with uplifting messages of their own. Social Emotional Learning is so important at school.

As students return to school and buses are back on the roads, it’s important for motorists to be aware, be cautious, and be patient with increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic. This is going to be a great year! #PKBacktoSchool
