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.
3
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. View the flyer →
Reminders & FYI
Ongoing operational reminders.
A/C or window: If you're using the A/C, keep your window closed. Air out your room first, then switch to A/C. 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.
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 →
