INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Johnston-McQueen Students and Teachers Raise Money for Limbs International
Pam will put an accounting sheet in your box for the cash you collect, and all proceeds will go through the activity fund for Limbs International. Cash only, please.
Please let students know that this program began with the invention of Dr. Roger Gonzales and his students at LeTourneau University! If you have time, share a video or two with your students to explain how their $1.00 is helping someone less fortunate. Find more videos and information in the link below.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
TEKS Science Challenge from Pearson
LAUNCH
The Power of Words
I like the self-reflection below that Lynn, our ever empowering and sage counselor, shared with me. In stressful times, perhaps these five little questions can help us re-frame our perspective.
Will it matter:
5 minutes from now,
5 hours from now,
5 days from now,
5 months from now,
5 years from now ?
I love the affirmations you give to your students and to one another! Kind words of encouragement and affirmation can really turn around someone's day.
