Shanklin's student council is raising money for the Luling Animal Shelter for their March service project. Teachers submitted pictures of their pet and students have been dropping change in the jars to vote for their favorite teacher's pet. They met their goal in just 2 days!
The counselor guidance lessons this week focus on managing emotions by learning and practicing calming down coping skills like controlling the breath. Each grade is focusing on a different topic such as managing anxiety, calming down anger, handling accusations, and handling making mistakes. All of these skills are important in social and emotional development and are beneficial now and moving forward into the future.
Central office leaders participated in the No Place For Hate discussions this week about families. The kids did a fantastic job of drawing their families and focusing on similarities while respecting differences. Focusing on the common themes in families even though they may look different and have different traditions fosters an environment where all students feel accepted and included. #noplaceforhate

"Get ready to score big with National School Breakfast Week! To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Luling ISD will celebrate March 8-12, 2021. Each day students will be offered awesome breakfast choices, and they will learn fun facts about why eating breakfast is so important before the start of the school day. Primary & Elementary school students will receive a daily prize. Jr. High/High School students will have a chance to win a 'lit' prize if they eat with us all this week, punch cards are distributed in the morning at breakfast."
During guidance lessons this week, students are learning to use a word or phrase to help stop big emotions from taking control. This allows students to start calming down and using their "thinking part" of their brains. Once the stop word or phrase is used the next step is to name their feelings. Learning and practicing these two steps are very important in learning to regulate emotions which is important both socially and academically.
Luling Primary and Shanklin Elementary students continue to work on earning the No Place for Hate designation this school year! Luling Primary is working on creating a Tree of Respect that is made out of hand cutouts with student drawings about respect. Shanklin Elementary will be working on Peace Paths. A Peace Path is a conflict resolution tool that helps students come up with solutions by using problem-solving principles.
Governor Abbott has ended several COVID restrictions in Texas, including capacity and mask mandates, effective Wednesday, March 10th. Luling ISD is waiting on further guidance from the Texas Education Agency.
