Northstar People!! Our focus for the week is on attendance. Our students will spend time reflecting on their attendance this school year, brainstorming solutions to any barriers they might see, and looking at their morning and nighttime routines.
As we went into break Mrs. A Rankin's class received some super cool Christmas glasses! Check out these awesome 5th graders!
This week our students will be working on one of our district goals, Be a Caring Community. Students will be listening to The Giving Tree, learning about how gratitude is good for you, and brainstorming ways they can show kindness and gratitude at school and in the community.
There will be no before-school activities for KCSD on Friday, December 16.
This week's social skill focus is Accepting "No" as an Answer! That really can be a tough skill for anyone to learn. Our students will be discussing when this might happen, practicing coping strategies, and listening to "I Just Don't Like the Sound of No."

This week at Northstar students have been working with Mr. Splavec to celebrate Computer Science Education Week! They have been practicing computer programming with micro:bits. Students have programmed and heart to beat on a screen, make a virtual name tag, create a virtual dice, and program a rock, paper, scissors game. Check out some happy faces from Mrs. Christian’s 3rd Grade class yesterday!
This week's social skill focus at Northstar is Showing Respect! What a great skill to work on, everyone deserves respect every day, and our students do a great job with this! Students will be working as a class to brainstorm ways to show respect at school, home, and in the community. #NStarPride
