HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARADE IS AT
FALL FESTIVAL – We will NOT be having a
costume parade on Halloween – there’s just
not enough room to do it safely on campus
during the school day while we’re still under
construction. Another reason we look
forward to having our playgrounds back!!
OPERATION GRATITUDE – Share your
candy after Halloween and give our active
duty troops and vets a sweet surprise! PTA
will have candy collection boxes at school on
th
November 3 and 4 in the morning in the

VISIT FROM LOS ANGELES COUNTY
IMMERSION EDUCATORS – Last week we
served as a demonstration program for the
Los Angeles County Office of Education and
hosted over 40 teachers and administrators
from immersion schools across LA County.
Our guests loved the opportunity to see a
mature and successful immersion program in
action and we were proud to showcase the
excellent teaching and programs at our
school!
REFLECTIONS ART PROJECT—Come by
the cafeteria to see a display of art our
students created for the PTA Reflections Art
Project. Thanks to Tait Chatmon-Alvarez and
Audrey Berry for working with students
during noon recesses and for putting the art
show together!
LEARN TO MAKE TAMALES and enjoy the
camaraderie of a Tamalada at Edison on
Thursday afternoon and evening on
November 6. Sign up on the volunteer
board.
Each year Edison devotes time and resources to the social and emotional
learning (SEL) of our students. This kind of learning is necessary for students’ own
development and also develops the kind of caring, engaged, and safe school climate
where all children learn best.
Scientific studies are increasingly showing that kindness has many physical,
emotional, and mental health benefits, including helping children thrive as healthy,
happy, well-rounded individuals. Patty O'Grady, PhD, an expert in neuroscience,
emotional learning, and positive psychology, wrote in a 2013 blog for Psychology
Today that “Kindness changes the brain by the experience of kindness. Children and
adolescents do not learn kindness by only thinking about it and talking about it.
Kindness is best learned by feeling it so that they can reproduce it.”
At school we work on SEL by talking with students about our school values,
explicitly teaching problem solving skills and Cool Tools and holding class meetings
about inclusion and treating others with respect. We teach and role play antibullying strategies and read stories about characters who demonstrate kindness,
respect, empathy and inclusion. We offer opportunities for children to be of service
to others to experience empathy, and draw on the skills of school counselors for
small group and class work on friendship. And we hold an annual Kindness and
Justice Challenge provide structured practice in being kind, empathetic, and fair.
While what we do at school is important, parents are the first and most
important teachers about kindness and empathy. Some of the things that we can do
as parents to try to deliberately grow kindness and empathy in our children include:
 Noticing Kindness - Identify the feeling whenever you observe it. “You must feel
kindness toward your friend because you were patient waiting for her to finish.”
If you’re dropping off your child in the morning and you notice him or her
treating classmates with kindness and respect, tell them that you’re proud of
their behavior choice. If you see something that is unkind or doesn’t take
someone else’s feelings into account, talk with your child about that too.
 Recognize or Reward Kindness – Instead of just recognizing children for things
like getting their homework done or picking up their rooms, find ways to also
recognize them for the kind things they do for others.
 Teach Empathetic Tolerance –. When you see things that are unkind, ask your
child to imagine how the person who was treated unkindly might have felt and
how things could have been done differently
 Model Kindness – Let your children see the things you do in your daily life to be
kind to others and the decisions you make because you have empathy for
others. If you give to charity, open a door for someone who has their hands full,
etc., let them know the values that motivate you to do those things.
Teaching and practicing these values is something that we all have to do consistently
and over time to help children develop SEL. Thanks for partnering with us!

DEL ESCRITORIO DE LA DIRECTORA:
APRENDIZAJE SOCIAL Y EMOCIONAL
Cada año Edison dedica tiempo y recurso al aprendizaje social y emocional
(SEL) de nuestros estudiantes. Este tipo de aprendizaje es necesario para el propio
desarrollo de los estudiantes y desarrolla el tipo de clima escolar cariñoso, involucrado
y seguro donde los niños aprenden mejor.
Estudios científicos están mostrando incrementalmente que la bondad tiene
muchos beneficios físicos, emocionales y de salud mental, incluyendo ayudar a niños a
sobresalir como individuales saludables, felices y bien ajustados. Patty O’Grady, PhD,
una experta en neurociencia, aprendizaje emocional, y psicología positiva, escribió en
artículo en el 2013 para Psychology Today que “la Bondad cambia el cerebro por la
experiencia de bondad. Los niños y los adolescentes no aprende bondad al solo pensar
o hablar de la bondad. La bondad es mejor aprendida al sentirla para que la puedan
reproducir.”
En la escuela trabajamos en SEL hablando con los estudiantes sobre nuestros
valores de la escuela, explícitamente enseñando habilidades para resolver problemas y
Herramientas Chéveres y teniendo reuniones de la clase sobre inclusión y cómo tratar a
otros con respeto. Enseñamos y actuamos estrategias en contra de intimidación y
leemos cuentos sobre personajes quienes demuestran bondad, respeto, empatía e
inclusión. Ofrecemos oportunidades para que los niños sean serviciales con otros para
vivir empatía, y usar las habilidades de los consejeros escolares para grupos pequeños y
trabajo en la clase sobre amistad. Y tenemos un Reto de Bondad y Justicia anual para
proveer práctica estructurada en ser bondadoso, empático, y justo.
Aunque lo que hacemos en la escuela es importante, los padres son los
primeros y más importantes de la bondad y empatía. Algunas cosas que podemos hacer
como padres es tratar deliberadamente criar bondad y empatía en nuestros niños incluye:
 Notar Bondad – Identificar el sentimiento cuando lo observen. “Tú has de sentir
bondad hacia tu amigo porque esperaste paciente para que terminara.” Si están
dejando a sus hijos en la mañana y nota que él/ella trata a sus compañeros con
bondad y respeto, díganles que están orgullosos de su comportamiento elegido. Si
ven algo que no sea bondadoso o que no tome los sentimientos de otra persona
en consideración, hablen con su hijo/a de eso también.
 Reconocer o Premiar Bondad – en lugar de solamente reconocer a los niños por
hacer cosas como terminar tarea o limpiar su cuarto, busquen maneras para
reconocerlos también por hacer cosas bondadosas para otros.
 Enseñar Empatía y Tolerancia – Cuando vean cosas que no son bondadosas,
pídanles a su hijo/ que se imagine cómo la persona que fue tratada mal se puede
sentir y cómo se podrían hacer las cosas diferentes.
 Modelar Bondad – Dejen que sus hijos los vean a ustedes haciendo las cosas que
hacen en su vida diaria para ser bondadosos hacia otro y las decisiones que
ustedes toma porque ustedes tienen empatía por otros. Si ustedes dan caridad,
abren la puerta para alguien quien lleve las manos llenas , etc,. díganles de los
valores que los motivan a ustedes para hacer esas cosas.
Enseñando y practicando estos valores es algo que todos tenemos que hacer
consistentemente y a través del tiempo para ayudarles a los niños a desarrollar SEL.
¡Gracias por ser nuestros compañeros!
