Vocabulary Day and Parade on February 14, 2020
Vocabulary Day and parades are a wonderful way to celebrate our love of words and reading. It also provides a fun and academic focus for dressing up in creative homemade costumes. To get ready:
1) Plan: Think of a juicy word that would have an interesting costume design. Think about unusual words that other may not already know. Look at the lists of works sent home for ideas.
2) Create: You can recycle all sorts of items around your home to make a creative homemade costume: boxes, poster board, hats, paper bags, fabric, tin foil, etc.
3) Make a Vocabulary Card/Label: Remember to make a large card or sign with your vocabulary word on it, so we'll know which word you represent in the parade. You can carry the word, make a headband or hat, or have it as part of your costume. Your word just needs to visible somewhere on you!
4) Come Prepared: Wear your costume to school. Make sure that you have all the parts.
For inspiration in creating your costume, there are lots of great ideas online. Search for vocabulary day or vocabulary parade for ideas,

PBIS
What does PBIS stand for? Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. PBIS is a proactive positive systems approach for creating and maintaining safe and effective learning environments in schools. Each morning our students start the day with our PAWS chant, and the chant is tied in with our matrices. This month, we will feature our PAWS matrix for Technology. This will be for any time our students are working with any type of technology within the classroom
