Welcome Back
Jan. 3, 2020
Wow! 2020! I know I say this all the time, but I can't believe how fast our school year is going. We've had a great start, and I'm looking forward to second semester! The cold, long days of January and February are upon us, and they leave us feeling a bit down and stuck in a rut. I challenge all of us (myself included) to look for the positives in each day during the next month. Remember that when the days get long, the years are actually short! Embrace the good, and the good will come back to you!
Procedure and Expectation Review
Please spend a good deal of time reviewing the rules and procedures for common areas on Monday. This proactive approach can lead to less behavior interruptions at lunch and recess. If anyone has any good cafeteria procedure challenges floating around in your head, please share with me! I'd love to give the kids something to work for!
January Staff Meeting
Our January staff meeting will be on the 7th. Group 2, the West Wing, has food duties! More dates will be shared at that time.
Our ABLT will need to meet the next week on January 14 after school.
RTI
Please be prepared to make changes to your RTI groups and WTW groups (if needed) on or before January 21. If you intend to change before this date and Paige/Amy work with a group of kids, please discuss with them.
Please watch
Here's a little leadership video I watched at home about the impact our interactions can have. I had to "click to expand" to get the sound to work. To me, it can apply to lots of areas, one being the classroom. What will you do in the first 5 and the last 5 next week in your room?
Enjoy your day today! I hope you find it productive and useful. Bring on the new decade! :)
