Monday Memo

Great Things!
It was a great week at school this past week. Thank you for the surprise principal's day celebration! It was so nice to read all of the kind words you wrote! Thank you.
If you haven't checked out the art in the office- swing by and take a look! Heather's class has created some "springy" pieces of art to share!
Welcome to Caiti-our long term sub in Shandi's classroom. Make sure you stop by and introduce yourself and welcome her to the family!
Challenge: This week-Be the positive energy in the room! As we all are getting tired and worn down, dig deep and find some positivity. Be that person in your classroom that is positive and excited for the next few weeks of school. It's hard to be negative and down when everyone around you is positive and up beat! Be that person!
Dates to remember:
May 6-10: Teacher/staff appreciation week
May 8: Nurse's appreciation day
May 10: Happy Birthday to Heather and Connie!
May 14: End of the Year Parent Committee at MM park
May 14: Fire Drills
May 17: Field Day
Nuts-n-Bolts:
* The announcements for the week are loaded into the shared file. Heather's a.m. class continues this week.
*I have noticed quite a few missing car rider/bus rider tags on backpacks this past week. Please make a sweep of your students and replace any missing tags. We have had a lot of subs/other staff stepping in for people-so tags are super important.
*Websites are due to be updated by the end of the day this Friday the 10th. Please email me when you have done so.
* May library book shelving duty: Tammy M & Lenora
Speech/Language Tip of the Week:
We all work with kids whose families speak Spanish in the home. Try and learn a few new Spanish words to label some common objects (toys, colors, animals, clothing, etc.) in your classroom or some common actions (sit down, walk, give it to me) or questioning words (what is this, who is that, do you like that). This will not only help us to communicate a little better with some of our kids, but it will also help us to build better relationships.
Happy Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week!
* Everyone has 3 tickets in their box-You may stop by the office before 3:00 on Monday to enter your tickets into three drawings. There are five total-one for each day. You may only enter three times, and you can only win once. Please write your name on the back of your ticket-and also keep your matching ticket.
*Burgers and Dogs will be served on the back patio by the picnic tables between 11:30 and 1:00 on Monday
*Please stop by and sign up for your Sonic drink (for Friday) by the end of the day Tuesday. The sign up sheet will be on the window outside my office.
*Lastly-please check your mailbox at the end of the day Monday or first thing Tuesday morning to complete your room service order. (you will understand when you check your box =) )
FINALLY: Thank you for all you do!! I appreciate you all so very much!!! I hope this week you feel extra special and extra appreciated for what you do every day!
