Greenwood Elementary School
Greenwood Game Night
In conjunction with All Pro Dad's Chili Cookoff, Greenwood Elementary held a family game night. Families had the opportunity to play board games and Ms. Haddle, the organizer says,
"I do plan on having the board games available for checkout in our Media Center to continue to encourage the game night at home. I will also do some spot lights on the games during our morning show and give them away as prizes to keep the spirit of Game Night alive." Greenwood Elementary School is a 2017 - 2018 recipient
of the Center's NNPS Outreach Grants.
Thank you for your important work!

A Peek
at the Practice

Grow Executive Function
Executive function, centered in the very important prefrontal cortex of the brain, refers to
"tasks that help us learn new information, remember and retrieve information we've learned in the past, and use this information to solve problems of everyday life."
While the frontal lobe does not fully mature until about age 25, students who have better developed executive function have key tools needed to successfully navigate routines, risk assessment, delay of gratification, time management, and working memory skills. Teachers can cultivate these skills with very specific strategies on a day-to-day basis. Read more about how to support the development of executive function:
