Monday Memo
HGECC 9-10-18
Great things!
Parent committee had a great turnout! Thank you to Chelsea for organizing, and to all of you for helping with child care, setting up, taking down, greeting parents and children, popping popcorn, and making it a huge success! It was so fun to see our parents getting to know each other and signing up to help out with events!
The Art in the Office is brought to us by Krystal's class this week! If you haven't checked it out-swing by and take a look! It is awesome!!
Stephanie Bradley and I had a chance to make it into all of the classrooms last week. She was impressed by how much creativity and learning she saw with our students! We also consistently saw a high level of student engagement in every room we entered! You will be seeing her in classrooms frequently, so feel free to stop and introduce yourself if you have never met her.
You are all embedding CD language and elements throughout your lessons and activities. It has been fun to see different classes doing their safe-keeper pledges, talking about their school family, doing I Love You rituals with partners, and using their words to solve problems. What will you add next?
Challenge: Last week I challenged you to implement something you learned at our district C&I day. Now click on this padlet link and share what you tried: https://padlet.com/keri_collison/we6wlt21t1nk
Sheradon brought story time to our classes!
Signing in for the day.

Nuts-n-Bolts:
*During walkthrough observations this past week-we did notice that in the majority of classrooms there were no lesson plans by the doors or there were out of date lesson plans by the door. Please make sure up to date lesson plan copies are hung by the doorway to your classrooms.
*It is time for websites to be updated. These will be updated every two weeks and should be current. Please let me know when you have updated your site if you have not already done so. They will need to be updated by the end of this week (end of day Sept 14).
*There will be a new "who's out" and "we wish you well" board in the front office for you to check to see who is here and who is not. Please take a moment to wish well any staff that is not here as you pass through the office.
* If you are new this year (as well as some of our returning staff from last year) and your photo is not on our wall in the front entry way-please come see me. We need to get your photo taken and quote card made to add to our wall. (Due by end of day Sept 14)
