LPES Has Interesting Guests By Anne Paulson

We have two guests, one human and one canine, who visited us on Thursday, March 21 from 1:30-2:30 in the gym. Karen Land, three-time veteran of the Iditarod 1,000-mile sled dog race, together with her Alaskan husky, Noggin, were here to share their experiences on the trail from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska.

Chinese Acrobats Fly at LPES

The Fabulous Chinese

Acrobats With February 5, 2019 being Chinese

New Year and the year of the pig, we

thought we would bring in some

interesting performers to help us celebrate

this unique culture. The Fabulous

Chinese Acrobats are straight from the

cirque du soleil circuit in Las Vegas. This

group brings a new energy and never

before seen routines to LPES. The

acrobats performed astounding feats of

skill, focus, and athleticism.

Embrace the struggle.

When a first-grader toils over a worksheet, they may exclaim in exasperation, “I’m bad at math!” Unfortunately, a single setback may be enough for kids to concoct a permanent sense of their shortcomings: “I’m not smart.” “I stink at soccer.” “I can’t draw.”

To prevent those types of conclusions, try to change your child’s perspective, says psychologist Andrew Shatté, Ph.D., who creates training programs to help kids power through challenges. To reframe his thoughts more positively, you might say, “New sports are hard to learn at first,” or “I know you can’t tell time yet, but you will.” And let him know he’s not the only one (“Lots of kids in your class are feeling as frustrated as you are,” or “I had a tough time when I started learning subtraction too”). Help him stay hopeful by mentioning another skill he worked to master: “Remember when you couldn’t read and how much effort that took? You’ll get this too.
