Week #15- November 26th-30th, 2018
There Is Much For Which To Be Thankful!
The positive culture you are creating minimizes the negativity many students bring with them due to challenges at home and in their personal life. Remember, continue to focus on the good things students do everyday and catalyze a culture of excellence. This takes time, but we are headed in the right direction. Let's be intentional about at least one good news out everyday, and excel cents whenever you catch kids being good.
I am so thankful for all you do. If there is anything we can do to support your efforts, please let me know.
Thankful for our students! We have our inaugural group of SPARKS finest!
Thankful for all those who serve!
Thankful for comfort food!
Teaching for Mastery
As we are about to start mid-year SLO conferences in December, please begin to reflect on where your students are and where we want them to be. Our top instructional priority should always be to grow all of our students not just academically, but the whole child.
Thank you for the many things you are doing everyday to help our students find success!
