#1 Thing to remember....Many of our kids never wanted to stay home for 2 weeks. They can't wait to see you. Build up those relationships as soon as you see them.
Need to Knows.......

- Homework Committee meets Thursday after school to discuss the book we read over break. Grounded Coffee House in Ligonier? Let me know.
- Number Talks...if you don't have the book get it from me. Over the next few weeks, I'd like to teach/model number talks. I would love to see some in action if you are doing some.
- All Write Summer Insititute (Now called the Lead Learners) is way more than just writing. June will be when the institute is offered and I would like everyone to go. I'll know the exact dates soon. June 25th ish and it's at Warsaw. We are planning some really great PD. It's a must go for exceptional PD.
