Support a local business and local schools
This year for Thanksgiving Weekend, Fleet Feet Ballard (owned by a local public elementary school family) is donating $10 per pair of shoes sold in-store to neighborhood elementary schools. At the register, they’ll ask which school should receive the donation and will include Lawton among the choices.
This will take place Thanksgiving Weekend from Friday, Nov 27 – Sunday, Nov 29.

Each year when November comes and the days get shorter, colder, and wetter it can be difficult to maintain enthusiasm for new learning. This year presents several additional challenges – including Remote Learning. I encourage you and your students to be strength spotters. Take time to discuss with your students what they see as their own areas of success, academic and social. You will learn a little more about what success looks like from their perspective and can use those conversations to support them to apply what works across settings.

I continue to be amazed by the learning happening at Lawton in our online spaces. From Kindergarten students practicing letter formation and identification – showing their work on the screen as well as in Seesaw – to 5th grade students articulating what mature throwing is in PE and then demonstrating using socks, plastic bags, and even rolled up paper.
Remote learning is hard (as Ms. Barry reminded us this week) and at the same time has brought out the innovator in each of us. The Lawton community continues to be dedicated to serving our students. If you missed

This week saw students and teachers learning about Indigenous People’s Day. Students are learning about contemporary Native Americans and Washington State tribal history. For more information, please feel free to check out these resources on the SPS website.
In the coming weeks all families in Seattle Public Schools will be asked to complete a survey sharing their experiences with remote learning. Please share your feedback to help our school and district leaders plan for how best to support students and families during remote learning.

Thank you for sharing your students with us for another great week of remote learning. Last Friday’s whole school library and packet pick up day was a success. Students now have library books for the next month as well as musical instruments for applying their new music knowledge at home!
This week, Lawton 5th graders Talia Wilson and Naomi Haddad were featured in a Seattle Times article. Inviting and amplifying student voice is a key feature of the work our teachers put into designing engaging instruction for students across content areas.

Thank you for another great week of partnership in supporting students at Lawton. Teachers and staff at Lawton continue to take opportunities to learn and grow so that we can provide high quality learning experiences for all students.
How we interact and encourage students affects their attitudes toward learning. A positive/growth mindset is the difference between a student giving up because they’re “not good at math” or engaging in a productive struggle that yields growth.
A growth mindset allows students to value what they’re doing regardless of the outcome. Students with a growth mindset
