February 20 - Get Whitt it!
Notes from Patricia & Patty
Kinder Round Up is coming on 4/11/2019. Teachers, if you have a student to enroll for KG, please see me asap to get the paperwork completed.
Counselor's Corner
Our WW follow-up day is fast approaching.
All: Watch the following video (ClassDojo Growth Mindset Activity) and complete the discussion activity together (should take about 5 minutes).
3rd and 4th: Will do the ClassDojo Activity in class but will ALSO complete their Achievement Profiles in Computer class for the week of the follow up (Thanks, Mirella!).
If ya have any questions, shoot them my direction!
Speaking of Mapping Your Future Day:
Follow this link to take a district survey for our Journey to the Mountaintop day. Your opinions are super important and truly do help shape the future of our Wylie Way days.
ALSO: I'm super excited to announce that I have purchased People Colors for each classroom. Yay! It is my hope that ALL our wolves can find the perfect skin shade to match all their beautiful tones!
Next week we'll welcome back, Coach Hunter! We know she'll miss her sweet Ava but are excited to have her BACK!
Just so you know...
Special thanks to Dyann and Stephanie for their hour of technofabulousness!
Morgan Power rocked her first STAAR training, didn't she?? I sure thought so!
Notes from the Nurse
"Find the thing that stirs your heart and make room for it." ~Joan Chittister
Self-care is not selfish, but necessary for you to be able to care for those around you! I recognize that none of this is new to anyone and most everyone has heard that you cannot pour from an empty cup. However, it's February and I see you running the rat race of evaluating, checkpointing, mentoring, teaching...literally doing all of the things!
So...what does self-care look like for you? Maybe it is saying no to yet, another commitment, or disconnecting from technology for a bit and probably most importantly...scheduling time for yourself to have fun! What was your word you decided on for 2019? Are you sleeping well? What does your overall nutrition look like? Are you exercising and hydrating? Remember...you must apply your oxygen mask first before you can help those around you!

What one thing can you do to take better care of yourself this week? Who in your world can help hold you accountable? (Email Amber this answer for free jeans on Wednesday!)
