The Weekly Hoot
February 10 -16, 2020
Greetings All -
Happy Valentine's Week! Sitting here in Morgan's living room in Louisiana watching Blaze and the Monster Machines, washing clothes, and enjoying this Sunday morning! We went to church last night after Jenna's archery tournament, so I foresee a lot of nothing today in our forecast except cleaning house. Sometimes when you visit your adult daughter and she is a super busy person, that is what you do for her so she can come home to a nice clean house and all clothes washed. :) All of you ladies with small children...see, it never ends! LOL!
Tutoring is going to begin this Monday for 4th grade writing and 5th grade reading and math. As of right now, between the teachers and intervention times during the day, teachers and I feel that tutoring can be handled without using the younger grade teachers. That doesn't mean that when 3rd and 4th grade tutoring time comes around, everyone won't be used though, so hang tight. :)
I have two more days in Louisiana, then I am headed to Hawkins Elementary School in Hawkins, Texas (north of Tyler) to go and visit a school of a principal whose blog I follow. She has been very transformative with whole school intervention times and she is implementing the Ron Clark "House System" for the first year this year. I am very interested in both things and am always looking for fresh ideas. I hope to come back with some! :)
That means I will see all of you on Thursday just in time for Valentine's Day parties!! Don't forget that Friday is a planning day. We will have a short faculty meeting that morning and then the rest of the day is for you and your teams to plan.
See ya'll soon!
Love to all,
Marcy
