January Character Word of the Month - Perseverance
Perseverance is the ability and self control that pushes you to work through challenges. Having perseverance means that when you are facing a challenge, you use your mind and your body to overcome it. Perseverance means you are able to wait and work through difficulties, whether they have to do with your mind, your body, or your emotions.
You've Been Snowballed
If you get Snowballed by someone:
- Tape a snowball to your mailbox
- Keep it going and pick someone else to snowball next! Extra snowballs are in the main office for you to use.
Let's Read TEAM Academy!
A few of us have been talking and thought it would be fun to read a book as a school. This is our January book. Feel free to join us! If you have suggestions for another book to read next month let me know!

January Reminders
New Lunch Spots - Students will get new lunch spots when they come to lunchroom CARES training this week. Tuesday - K & 4, Wednesday - 2 & 6, Thursday - 1, 3, & 5
Recess - Please try to get students out to recess as quick as you can. We want them to have as much time outside as they can get! The fresh air is so good for them! Also, please make sure you are getting outside quickly too if you are supposed to be at recess. I'll do a better job of monitoring if paras/teachers are sick and we need extra help outside.
We are also trying a new incentive for the kids - Hands Free Recess! For every day they go with NO referral forms for physical aggression at recess we will earn a hand print. When we get 10 hand prints they get ice cream sandwiches.
6th grade science fair - Thursday, January 10 - Classes are invited to visit the science fair from 2:00-2:30.
School board meeting day/time change - school board will now meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 4:15 PM. We will start meeting at this time in February.
Winter Conference times - Please send home conference times to families by Friday, January 11.
Scholastic Book Fair - The book fair will be in the Spanish room again. Students can view it at conferences and during their weekly library time. Jan 22, 24, and 25.
Wolf Paw Fun Night - Thursday, January 31 from 5-7 PM. Students will need to have 5 or less minor or 2 or less major referrals to attend. We will have pizza and play games.
I Love to Read - We will start meeting for I Love to Read month on Fridays at 7:20 in Jenni's room! Get ready to plan a fun month of reading activities!
Next two weeks - My parents are in Mexico for the next two weeks so I'm short on people watching my kiddos! I'll be in Monday-Wednesday from 7:15-10:40 AM. Thurs-Friday I'll be here all day. Please email if you need anything and I'm not here. Once they are down for naps I'll be working from home in the afternoons.
