  1. hi otters.
  2. It's your dean of students, Mrs Firth, and this is
  3. Week three of the virtual office.
  4. I hope everyone's enjoying the different things that air in
  5. the office that you can navigate.
  6. Let's talk a little bit about what's new this week.
  7. So you have this new message from me this week,
  8. and that's gonna be the same every week.
  9. You'll get a new message every week.
  10. Our auto radio is new this week, and we focus
  11. our attention on the fact that September is childhood Cancer
  12. Awareness Month and what we can dio to support those
  13. Children that are battling cancer.
  14. Um, our read aloud section is also updated, and we
  15. have the next few pages of the one and only
  16. Ivan. So those are the things that you can see
  17. that our new.
  18. So this is something.
  19. This visual over here is something I shared with our
  20. teachers, and I'm thinking, I want to share with all
  21. of you.
  22. And the reason for that is because when we give
  23. ourselves affirmations or we affirm something, we are giving emotional
  24. support or we are affirming how someone is feeling or
  25. how they're doing.
  26. And so we do that for ourselves.
  27. We can do that for other people.
  28. And so the affirmation that I want us to focus
  29. on this week is the best I can do is
  30. my best.
  31. Everyone is doing the best they can in these very
  32. unusual circumstances, and that's okay.
  33. One person's best is gonna look different than the other
  34. person because we are all unique individuals and we all
  35. have different skill sets.
  36. So if your best is being able, Thio log into
  37. you're synchronous learning time with your teacher.
  38. That's great.
  39. If your best is getting all of your assignments done
  40. during a synchronous time for the day, that's amazing, but
  41. one but your best is your best.
  42. And that's all we can ask of each and every
  43. one of you.
  44. And I don't expect everyone's best to look the same.
  45. And I hope that you don't expect that, um, of
  46. yourself, too.
  47. Eso the best I could do is my best.
  48. I want you to focus on that this week.
  49. Other than that, I hope you guys will keep up
  50. the good work.
  51. I hope you're enjoying looking through the virtual office.
  52. As always, I'm so proud to be your dean and
  53. proud to be part of this school.
  54. And I hope that you are too Until next week.
  55. Take care.
  56. And you are never far from my thoughts by otters.
