New Lunch Bunches!
Ms. Kim is now offering grades 2 - 5 a weekly Lunch Bunch, where 3 students from the class eat lunch in the Counseling Office with Ms. Kim. This is a time for students to practice social skills, such as listening to each other and asking questions, build new relationships, strengthen friendships, and enjoy a different environment for lunch. We may even play some games, depending on time! Participation is voluntary and students are selected at random; everyone will have a chance to participate at least once before the end of the school year.
