Conflict Resolution at RES

Conflict Resolution Wheel
Each week Mrs. Connolly will be highlighting a strategy that kids can use when needing to resolve a conflict. Each day this week on the Dragon Tale News we discussed the strategy of "walk away." Next week we will be showing and explaining the strategy of giving an "I feel....." message. Ask your child to share what they learned and how they are solving conflict.

Rocken' Dads
Our Rocken' Dads met this morning in our cafeteria at 7:00 a.m. Thank you to Dr. David Faltys, our district superintendent for speaking to the kids and dads about putting the "big rocks" in life a priority. Thank you to the dads that have been serving as Dad of the Day! We love you Rocken' Dads!

RES Art

Come see RES artwork at the Southlake Public Library Art Display, Feb. 18-Mar. 25! There will be a small art show with limited hanging space at the public library in Town Square.  RES will have about 35 pieces on display.  Students with art in the show will receive a letter in their Wed. folder. Congratulations!

Bring Your Own Device Pilot
Mrs. Featherston's GT class and some of the other classes will be piloting a "bring your own device" initiative. There are strict rules that we must adhere to during these times. Please see your teacher for the specifics. If you have any questions or concerns, please come see me! We must teach and prepare our children how to appropriately use these powerful devices. They can be a dynamic tool for engagement and research.

Don't forget, elementary school days are the greatest of days!
