<body><div>As we enter November, my heart goes out to the families affected by the recent flooding. During this difficult time, I have been reminded of what makes Ignacio such a special community. Our district’s mission begins with the words “Together, we will …,” and I have witnessed those words in action every day.While greeting students in the mornings, I have watched parents step forward to help families in need, even when facing challenges of their own. On the playground, I have seen students show compassion, listen to their friends, and offer support. These moments remind us that education is about more than academics; it is also about raising caring, responsible citizens.Thank you to everyone who has reached out to help! Families needing assistance are encouraged to contact our schools for available resources and community connections.Leveling up our learning!Our school year is flying by, and we are embracing this year’s theme: LEVEL UP! Students, staff, and administrators are setting goals to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.One exciting initiative is our new Math Numeracy Labs. Every student participates in a daily 30-minute lab focused on strengthening number sense, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Through Number Talks, students share different strategies for mentally solving problems, followed by engaging math games matched to their skill levels.We are already seeing encouraging progress! Students are becoming more confident, flexible thinkers who can explain their mathematical reasoning.Want to learn more? Join us at our monthly PTO/BAC meetings on the second Monday at 4:10 p.m. Also, watch for our Family Math Night in February, when families can experience these games and take home math kits to continue learning together!Celebrating Native American Heritage MonthNovember is one of our favorite months as we celebrate Native American heritage, history, and cultures. Living in a community rich in cultural traditions provides wonderful opportunities for our students to learn from and appreciate one another.We have several special activities planned:<ul><li>Nov. 16 – Native American Pride Week</li></ul>Students are encouraged to celebrate their cultures and heritage throughout the week.<ul><li>Monday: Rock Your Mocs Day</li><li>Tuesday: Ribbon Skirts and Shirts Day</li><li>Wednesday: Red or Orange Day – Honoring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) and Every Child Matters</li><li>Thursday: Rock Your Braids Day</li></ul>Our Native American Circle Club continues to meet Wednesdays after school until 5:30 p.m. Classrooms will also participate in cultural lessons and activities, with several grade levels visiting the Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum.Together, we level up!Whether we are supporting neighbors affected by flooding, strengthening our math skills, or celebrating the cultures that make our community unique, Ignacio Elementary continues to demonstrate the power of working together.I am incredibly proud of our students, staff, families, and community. Thank you for helping our children grow into strong learners and compassionate citizens.Together, we are leveling up – not just as a school, but as a community!<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3SZ4GM_1H4tn5tu00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3SZ4GM_1H4tn5tu00" width="2048" height="1583" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0g9NAX_1H4tn5tu00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0g9NAX_1H4tn5tu00" width="2048" height="1583" ></figure></div></body>
