Thomas Tidbits
Please do not leave doors propped open in the 2nd Grade or Main Bldg. There have been snakes spotted and they are searching for the sun to bathe in it. If the doors are left open, they may decide to slither inside when they have all the heat they need, and none of us would be thrilled. Also, with the continuous issues with the air conditioning, it puts a strain on the units when they are trying to cool the outside as well as the inside. So, take a few seconds to make sure all doors are shut when traveling through those buildings.
Thank you to the best staff around!!!! Have a fantastic week-end!

Making our Hive Thrive
K- A teacher was engaged in math talk with a group of students and she was asking questions and providing immediate feedback. A teacher is using Imagine Learning to provide engaging literacy work for students. This data is being used to design small group instruction.
1st – Teachers are exploring Imagine Learning and the students are really enjoying it! They are also providing math fluency stations for students to master addition and subtraction facts.
2nd – Teachers assigned work to students that allowed students to have eyes on text while looking for spelling patterns and answering comprehension questions. Teachers are moving students from graphic organizers to transferring the information to paragraph form.
Counselor's Corner
I would love some feedback on the School Counseling program from everyone.
Please fill out this survey to help me out. Thank you!!!

T is for Tapir
The lions, tigers, bears, and monkeys draw most of the buzz at the zoo. Away from the crowds, dwelling in relative anonymity, reside equally significant and truly fascinating animals. They're the underdogs, the square pegs trying to fit into round holes, and those marching to the beat of a different drummer.
Here's to the tapirs of our schools--both students and adults. We are richer because of them.
