Please look through the collection for any missing items.\u00a0 Any items that are not picked up by Friday, December 21st<\/sup>, will be donated to families in need.\u00a0 Please always be sure to mark your child\u2019s clothing items, backpacks, and lunch boxes with his or her name, even on the inside.\u00a0 We are encouraging students to wear hats and mittens to school for outdoor recess play.<\/p>\n We are still collecting for the Holiday Toy Drive!\u00a0 Please continue to donate new toys to those children in need.\u00a0 Putnam Valley is such a generous community, and it warms our hearts to be able to brighten the holidays of others who need assistance.\u00a0 Thank you for your contributions!<\/p>\n Our entire building is putting great effort into our Social and Emotional Learning, especially with our Yale RULER model.\u00a0 RULER is a school-wide approach that promotes emotional literacy.\u00a0 This includes Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, and Regulating our emotions, and of course, this helps us all to access learning.\u00a0 Our students are plotting their moods on Mood Meters in their classrooms, and the use of Feeling Words is helping to facilitate the RULER approach.\u00a0 We thank our entire PVES building committee who has helped to support this important work with our staff and students.<\/p>\n We look forward to a festive week ahead!\u00a0 On Thursday, our students and staff are invited to wear pajamas to school for a school-wide PAJAMA DAY!\u00a0 On Friday, we will be wearing holiday sweaters or FESTIVE WEAR (hats, etc.) throughout the day.\u00a0 We will also enjoy a whole-school Sing Along, and a special visit from some high school carolers!\u00a0 We thank you for helping to support our school culture and positive learning community.\u00a0 We enjoy these special times together.<\/p>\n Have a wonderful weekend ahead!\u00a0 I know this is a very busy time of year.\u00a0 Stay calm, and enjoy the small moments.<\/p>\n Warmly,<\/p>\n Ms. Podesta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear PVES Families, We have had a wonderful week at PVES, and we look forward to another full week of school before the holiday break.\u00a0 Congratulations to our first-grade classes on a wonderful holiday performance!\u00a0 The first graders made us so proud with the amazing performance of their songs and poems, and we thank Mrs.… Continue Reading December 14, 2018<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-es-letter","clearfix"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5695"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5696,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5695\/revisions\/5696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
