If you “hold on” to a problem or big emotion for too long, it gets in the way and keeps you from having a successful/enjoyable day. #problemsolvers #letitgo

Kicked off November’s Growth Mindset theme with a great assembly that emphasized “The Power of Yet!” #prairiepanthers

Another monthly assembly to kick off the theme of “Conflict Resolution” and our 3rd and 4th graders did a great job helping provide and explain the steps! 🐾💜🐾

This quarter we used optical illusions in order to talk about perspective. This visual lead to a great discussion on empathy, which lead to a great discussion on reading social cues, which leads to another great discussion on “How do others see you?” 💜🐾💜

Our focus for February is “Responsible Decision Making” and our 6th graders once again did a fantastic job of teaching us the S.O.D.A.S steps to help us make good choices. (Situation-Options-Disadvantages-Advantages-Solution) 💜🐾#thinkitthrough #pawsitivedecisions

Our Prairie Panthers reached their Readathon Goal!!! 👏🏼 📚🤓🐾When you read you Grow…and when you Grow…apparently you get to Glow!!! 🤣🤣

Our Pawsitive Impact Committee helped with this month’s theme of “Celebrating Diversity.” They gave helpful advice and shared personal stories along with new perspectives that will stick with all of us as we support each other everyday. 🐾💜🐾#OneShawneeMission #Prairie512

In recognition of Anti-Bullying Awareness Week, Prairie Elementary students spent time discussing how to solve peer conflicts, how to show empathy for others and how to be an “Upstander” when someone is not being treated well. #dontstandybystandUP #OneShawneeMission

“Thank You” to our Prairie community for helping support the “We Care, I Can!” Food Drive. 💜 🐾We collected over 1,000 items to help out the JoCo Christmas Bureau. I’m so proud of these 6th grade leadership helpers for promoting this event and boxing up donations. #Prairie512

Little Mandy Hart/Mrs. Mingori (circa 1983ish) wants to wish you all a happy snow day tomorrow! 💙❄️💙

“You’ve got mail!”…Kindness Mail! Prairie Panthers are celebrating Kindness Week by showing their appreciation towards one another through these postcards! #OneShawneeMission #PrairiePanthers

A few Prairie Elementary panther auction winners spent the afternoon with Nurse Stacey and Mrs. Mingori making sparkling Lava Bottles and snacking on treats in the garden! 💜🐾💜

Starting the year off Prairie Elementary by talk about the importance of “Connections” and the impact that our attitudes, emotions, words and actions can have on those we are most connected to. #AllinSMSD 💜🐾💜🐾

Following up to last week’s class lesson. Prairie Elementary is ALL IN on ALL the important qualities needed to help strengthen our connection to others and find success in the school day! #OneShawneeMission 🐾💜🐾💜
