Friday's Dance Party was Rocking!
Out of the building
I will be out of the building the following times this week and next:
Monday, November 25 - 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm - Elementary Principals Meeting
Friday, December 6th - 12:00 pm - 4:00 - MESPA Board meeting
Please Welcome our New Staff
We have been able to add a .5 SPED teacher to meet the needs of rising case load numbers. Please welcome Kathy Toenjes! Kathy also teaches at Eisenhower Elementary. She will be here in the mornings, and will be beginning after Thanksgiving.
Meredith Yue has informed us that she will not be returning to her role. We hired Leo Anderson for her position. His start date will be mid-December.
I saw this the other day and thought it could be an effective way to promote PAWS pride when guest teachers are in our classrooms
Building Bridges with Somali and Oromo Families
We will gather in the Media Center after school on Monday, December 2 from 4:15 - 5:15 with our Somali and Oromo families.
Staff Meeting
A staff meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 4 at 8:00 am in the Information Classroom.
Flipgrid + Chatterpix = student voice and choice
Another creative idea I saw earlier this week. I've seen Chatterpix used many times in classrooms. This use combines Chatterpix with self-portraits, and then shares the stories with Flipgrid. : https://tinyurl.com/t87oa62
