Coho Connection 11/19/24

Dear Sakai Families,

November seems to be flying by! A huge thank you to everyone who reached out about last week's Family Dare. I’m glad you were able to help your student connect with someone they were grateful for. 

We are approaching a busy time of year with lots of changes to usual routines and schedules. It’s important to notice the effect this has on us and our kids. This week’s Family Dare is to set aside some time to gather as a family and check in with each other. Ask each family member, “How are you feeling today?” Practice honesty when responding and listen carefully as each family member shares. Use the emotion check-in questions to learn more. Let your student know you are grateful for their willingness to share.

Emotion Check-In Questions:

I hope you have a great week, Sakai!

Drew

Sakai's Maker Space is in need of some sewing needles, crochet hooks, and knitting needles.

Donations of any of these items would be much appreciated. Perhaps you have some of these items that are no longer needed in your household, and Sakai will be more than happy to have them.

Donations of recess equipment in good condition, such as soccer balls, tennis balls, frisbees, or 4-square balls would be appreciated. If your garage is cluttered with these items that you may no longer use,

Sakai would definitely put them back to good use.
