Team reflection
This week's prompt
Coming back from spring break can be a big transition for our kiddos — and for us. As you settle back in this week, reflect on:
"How do you help children re-regulate after a disruption in routine? What does co-regulation look like in your classroom on a hard re-entry day?"
Read: Silence as a Co-Regulation Technique →
Discuss with your team or bring it to your Classroom Team Meeting.
Action required this week
Three things that need your attention.
```
```
1
Review the updated afternoon coverage schedule
We've made adjustments to LB/EB and TFC staffing for this week. Review the updated schedule →
2
Know your coverage role — Monday & Friday staffing is tight
If your numbers are low, be ready. We may need to pull a team member to support a classroom that needs coverage. No surprises — just be prepared.

Share the Mendocino Farms fundraiser with your families — Wednesday, April 15
Dine in or order online from 2:00 pm to close. Use code GOGIVEBACK at checkout. 50% of every purchase goes back to SOI. The more families who show up, the bigger the impact. View the flyer →
Reminders & FYI
Ongoing operational reminders.
A/C or window: If you're using the A/C, keep your window closed. Best practice — air out your room first with an open window, then switch to A/C if you need it cooler. Don't forget to turn off your A/C before leaving for the day.
Printer & cardstock: When you're done printing on cardstock, please remove it from the tray. Cardstock left behind causes unnecessary waste when someone prints without realizing it's loaded.
Friendship Club has openings! Ages 4–6. If you feel a kiddo in your class could benefit from peer connection support, please speak to Rebecca. Learn more in Trainual →
