Short One....
Check out the school website for the September newsletter. It should be up sometime Friday. Can you include a link to it on your Dojo account so parents have another way of finding it?
Have a wonderful Labor Day holiday....this is my most favorite "minor" holiday! School has started, but you get a day off, there are football games to watch, the weather is cooling off and my neighbor's apples are finally ripening, which means homemade apple crisp very soon!
I love seeing the patience and kindness and care you are teaching with! I love coming into your classrooms and seeing students excited about learning, excited about PE, excited about math....it's awesome!
Good luck to our students as we begin fall MAP testing next week. Third and Fourth graders will kick it off right after Labor Day on September 4 and Second graders will start on Sept. 5!
Have a great three-day weekend! You've earned it!

Check out this early reader! Might be my favorite motivational speaker yet! And he's only 4 years old!
From the SPARK module....
This is called "4 Corners" and although the video uses 7th grade students, you could easily adapt the activity for almost any age level. It's very similar to the ice breaker we did at our opening teacher meeting....
