K - 6 Holiday Singalong
Taking Care of Our School!
Over the Holiday Break our custodial staff: Mr. Kohls, Mrs. Rygiel, and Ms. Torres will be scrubbing and waxing our floors to their original beauty. Some of our students volunteered to help by buffing the black marks off by skating through the halls on kitchen scrubbing pads. It was if they were preparing for a figure skating recital!
Shadow a Student Day
The Shadow a Student Challenge is a fun, illuminating, and supportive journey where school leaders come together to empathize with their students and take new kinds of action at their school.
Educators and researchers have long known that shadowing can lead to powerful observations and insights to drive change. The Shadow a Student Challenge provides methods and a network to help school leaders achieve Deeper Learning for all students.
Mrs. Goettl will participate in this challenge on February 15th. She will shadow one student from the beginning of the day through dismissal, putting on their sneakers, walking in their shoes, learning about their needs, in order to take action for positive change.
Mrs. Goettl should shadow me because...
I wish I could shadow each student in our elementary, but since there aren't enough days in the school year for 477 "shadowing days" I have to narrow down to just one.
Therefore I am inviting our students to tell me why it is important for me to shadow them over others. They can send me a video or written essay with their reasons why it is important to shadow them. Families can help their students (especially younger ones) with their submissions.
*Parents must provide permission for the Shadow a Student Challenge
Submissions with strong rationale will be put into a drawing.
Submissions are due on or before Feb. 1st, 2017.
The student chosen for the "Shadow a Student Challenge" will be announced on Ground Hogs Day (Feb. 2nd) and Mrs. Goettl will shadow that student Wed., Feb. 15th.

Love & Logic Parent Training - FREE! (includes meal & childcare) Must Register Below
What Is Love and Logic All About?
The Love and Logic Institute is dedicated to making parenting and teaching fun and rewarding, instead of stressful and chaotic. We provide practical tools and techniques that help adults achieve respectful, healthy relationships with their children. All of our work is based on a psychologically sound parenting and teaching philosophy called Love and Logic.
What Is Love and Logic?
Children learn the best lessons when they're given a task and allowed to make their own choices (and fail) when the cost of failure is still small. Children's failures must be coupled with love and empathy from their parents and teachers.
This practical and straightforward philosophy is backed with 30 years of experience. Parents can apply it immediately to a wide range of situations instead of struggling with difficult counseling procedures
Why Does It Work?
Uses humor, hope, and empathy to build up the adult/child relationship
Emphasizes respect and dignity for both children and adults
Provides real limits in a loving way
Teaches consequences and healthy decision-making
