February 1st-5th
Cardinal Code Celebration!
the students and staff at GSRP and Cardinal's Nest! This will be a great foundation for our students to have in place when they enter kindergarten. We will kick things up a notch this week with celebrating the Cardinal Code at GSRP and Cardinal's Nest. Here's what we have planned:
Cardinal Code Spirit Week
- Monday, February 1st- Wear Cardinal Colors. Maroon and Gold, Fight, Fight!
- Tuesday, February 2nd- Hat's off to the Cardinal Code- Hat Day
- Wednesday, February 3rd- Be Supportive Day! Wear your favorite jersey or t-shirt that supports your favorite team.
- Thursday, February 4th- Cozy up for Cardinal Code- PJ Day!
- Monday, February 8th- Meet the Davison Cardinal Assembly- Cardinal's Nest and GSRP
Cardinal Code Tickets - Students will start earning the golden tickets for specific positive behaviors. The teachers will collect them in their classroom throughout the week and they will be turned in to the office Cardinal Code birdcage for a weekly drawing. Special prizes will be earned from the Cardinal Code birdhouse box.
Cardinal Code Pledge- Preschool classrooms will start reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and Cardinal Code pledge daily. Susan is getting larger size Cardinal Code Pledge posters made for the classrooms. The sign up sheet is in the lounge for GSRP staff to sign up to come with a child to the office and say the pledge over the PA for both a.m. and p.m.
Cardinal Tree Hallway Display- Our Cardinal Code tree is up and ready to be filled with our little cardinal's who are taking the pledge this week to follow the code.
The Davison Cardinal Mascot visits!- The Davison Cardinal Mascot will be at GSRP Monday, February 8th for the Meet the Cardinal Assembly. What a great time to re-teach the Cardinal Code assembly lesson. The Cardinal's Nest kids will join us in the multipurpose room for the assembly. Students who are afraid of the cardinal can stay back in the classrooms with monitors.
All teachers should have received cardinal stamps this week to use on the student's Cardinal Code charts. They are very cute! We will be supplying everyone with fresh ink pads as well.
