Martell Monitor
Volume 1: Week 12 November 9, 2018
Dear Martell Families,
Dear Families,
Today brought the excitement of the first snow! It's that time of year where we are putting away the summer and fall clothes and getting out the winter gear! Please sent warm clothes each day with your children. The classes go outside daily! Thank you for your help with this.
This week we had our first Team Huddle! Team Huddle is a time where each student meets with a staff member in a small group of K-5 students that stays with them their whole time at Martell. This creates a small family within the school and helps develop cross grade relationships. Our topic today was Collaboration and Teamwork. Please ask your child about this! It's a special time for our staff and students.
Have a wonderful weekend!
In Partnership,
Michelle Barsh
