Rountree Report
December 1, 2017
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Did you put up your tree yet? My tree is up--decorations are not! I also still have not bought any Christmas gifts. I really don't understand how this happens every year! Next year I will be prepared:)
Feathers
Your assembly behavior feathers are in your mailboxes.
Parent volunteers
PTA will be communicating with parents Monday about signing up to help with holiday parties. Ashley Burton will be in touch with your list of parent volunteers. She will keep these requests organized by classroom, create a line of communication between volunteers, ensure there is adequate volunteer support for each classroom, and provide a general set of guidelines for the class parties. If you can also communicate through a newsletter or email please give Ashley's email ashleymarieburton@gmail.com out as a contact.
Online collaboration Don't forget to start contributing your ideas!
This collaboration article has a few student collaboration tools that might be helpful. Please contribute to this Canvas discussion board to share what you are trying and what is working well.
Retention
If you have any students that retention is a consideration for or a concern you need to have made myself, Brittany, and parents aware. These are conversations that MUST take place prior to Christmas break.
Observations
There are still a few of you that need to schedule your observation with me. This observation needs to take place before Christmas break.
